Core Tip	Over the past decade, there has been increasing focus on improving quality in healthcare. This has led to the reinvigoration of the quality improvement movement. Inflammatory bowel disease is a complex, chronic condition with associated morbidity, health care costs, and reductions in quality of life. The condition is managed primarily in the outpatient setting. The delivery of high quality care is suboptimal in several ambulatory IBD domains. This review outlines current gaps in performance in IBD outpatient care and provides potential initiatives aimed at improvement.
