Congratulations to GRITT-IBD, the Mount Sinai Team Science Award winners for 2019.<\/p>\n
Here is a summary of their winning submission:
\nInherent in the mission and practice of the IBD Center is a prioritization of interdisciplinary
\ncollaboration in service of optimal patient care. Through the GRITT-IBD\u2122 program (Gaining
\nResilience Through Transitions for patients with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases), co-led by Dr. Laurie
\nKeefer and Dr. Marla Dubinsky, our practitioners work collaboratively across various disciplines from
\ngastroenterology\/medicine, nursing, clinical pharmacy, nutrition, social work, child life, population
\nhealth, and behavioral\/psychological health1,2, to provide the best patient care using a team-based,
\npatient-centered approach.3,4 Specifically, the interdisciplinary team meets weekly, with an average of
\n9 practitioners per week, to discuss highly complex IBD patients referred from gastroenterologists or
\ncolorectal surgeons. Patients are screened with a GRITT Score, a validated, clinician-administered,
\nEHR-integrated tool that quantifies, on a 100-point scale, individual\u2019s personal strengths (high
\nGRITT) vs. complexity. Patients receiving a GRITT score <\/= 70 who are receptive to high-touch
\ncare are enrolled in the program, which involves access to a personalized patient-care plan known as
\nthe GRITT Playbook, specific evidence-based GRITT Treatment Targets, GRITT Team-based care
\ndelivery, including both in-person and telemedicine remote care visits, as well as access to a variety of
\nongoing research studies, which are elaborated on below. Currently, the GRITT-IBD\u2122 program
\ntouches 100-300 patients per year of the ~7,000 unique patients at the IBD Center annually.
\nEmbedded in the GRITT-IBD\u2122 program are various research projects aimed at optimizing the health,
\nresilience, and function of patients with IBD, the well-being of clinicians who treat these patients, as
\nwell as optimizing the quality of the physician-patient and caregiver-patient relationship. Each of the
\nactive studies as well as the general practice paradigm of the GRITT-IBD\u2122 program represents a
\nnovel treatment approach in gastroenterology, placing proactive psychological assessment and
\nintervention at the forefront of patient care. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
