Credit Hours: CME 1.00

Target Audience:

Faculty, residents, fellows, and community physicians in General Internal Medicine and subspecialties.

Educational Objectives:

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Describe disease severity in the IBD patient population results from heterogeneous factors and can be characterized by patterns of healthcare utilization and healthcare charges over a multi-year time period.
  • Explain how monitoring telephone activity in the electronic health records identifies IBD patients at risk for high healthcare utilization and charges.
  • Recognize peripheral blood eosinophilia is a novel biomarker of severity in patients with IBD.
