ImproveCareNow is transforming care, health and costs for all children and youth with IBD through continuous improvement, innovation and discovery. Here are some of the events and opportunities happening in ImproveCareNow
ImproveCareNow Bootcamp
ImproveCareNow Bootcamp will be held on Thursday September 17, 12:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. (ET) / 9:30 a.m. - 1:30 a.m. (PT).
Attendance at this session is highly encouraged for all newer ICN team members (team members who have joined their center within 12 months). This includes physicians, improvement coordinators, dietitians, psychosocial professionals, nurses, advanced practice nurses, and other care team members. Together, experienced ICN centers, staff and mentors will help new community members orient to the culture and get assistance with aligning ICN activities to local workflows. Participants will leave Bootcamp with a greater understanding of how ICN makes a difference; how their efforts matter; and develop relationships with mentors and other new team members.
You will have the opportunity to register for ICN Bootcamp and/or the Live Online Community Conference.

IBD Wellness Survey
This research opportunity has been approved by the ImproveCareNow Research Committee
Assessing the Prevalence of and Risk Factors for Disordered Eating Behaviors in Adolescents with IBD
Researchers at Drexel University are interested in understanding body image concerns and disordered eating behaviors in adolescents with Inflammatory Bowel Disease. This voluntary study is an online survey that is estimated to take 20-30 minutes to complete, and will ask participants to answer a variety of questions about your eating behaviors, quality of life, and emotional health. Participating in this study is your choice and will not impact your care. This study has been reviewed by the Drexel IRB.
