Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Barriers to Adequate Inflammatory Bowel Disease Management
As a healthcare organization or private practice, there are barriers you will need to overcome in order to successfully help your patients struggling with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
Here are the most common ones:
- The traditional care model does not work for patients with IBD, who often require ongoing care between physician visits
- Patients with lifelong IBD (e.g. Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis) experience challenging symptoms that impact their day-to-day life, which include rectal bleeding, abdominal pain and diarrhea.
- Lack of evidence-based treatment plans and protocols by the healthcare team.
- Poor follow-through for patient participation and self-management which results in worsening of physical health and increases the need for expensive medical intervention.
- Patients living in remote or rural areas have limited access to medical experts who specialize in IBD.

Clinical Research Demonstrates Virtual Care Improves Inflammatory Bowel Disease Outcomes
When it comes to IBD patients, virtual healthcare benefits them in ways the traditional healthcare system alone cannot.. A study conducted on digital technologies has shown that it helps decrease utilization and costs of healthcare services for IBD patients. Telemedicine such as remote patient monitoring (RPM) enables IBD patients to forge a direct connection with their care team from the comfort of their home through methods like text messaging, mobile applications, phone calls, email, video and patient portals. This way they get timely answers to questions and quicker delivery of necessary treatments without facing the travel difficulties created by the condition. Moreover, RPM also offers medical personnel an easier way to identify changes or problems in a patient’s condition by allowing them access to real-time data and health indicators. In addition, virtual healthcare services provide patients with vital education that promotes self-care and evidence-based management for their unique symptoms. Thus, it is no surprise that virtual healthcare is so advantageous when it comes to IBD patients
