Abstract Background We aim to assess the impact of a multidisciplinary inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) conference on the management of patients with complex IBD. Methods Data were collected during each conference from February 2017 through October 2018 with chart review performed at 6 months to determine if conference recommendations were successfully implemented. Results Eighty-five patients were discussed. The presenting diagnosis was changed by 11.8%. Recommendations for further testing, medical therapy, and surgery were successfully implemented in 77.1%, 98.1%, and 88.4%, respectively. Conclusions This study supports the role of IBD multidisciplinary conferences in the management of patients with complex IBD.
