Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Management for Advanced Practice Providers

Providing comprehensive, evidence based training for advanced practice providers (APPs) is vital for managing Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) across multiple clinical settings. Due to the increasing incidence of diagnosis across all ages with Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, APPs assume the primary liability for initial diagnosis, treatment decisions, disease monitoring, and longitudinal IBD care. Advanced practice providers require thorough assessment frameworks, a working knowledge of the latest treatment options, and collaborative partnership within a structured framework to facilitate IBD management. APPs have the opportunity to enhance clinical knowledge and IBD patient outcomes via expert led IBD Community Network resources and clinical education.

Advanced practice providers managing IBD requires detailed and organized instruction on the elements of diagnosis and treatment, disease monitoring, and of patient-focused IBD care. Advanced practice providers are essential in providing evidence-based care throughout the entire disease process.

With the assistance of education from specialists, collaborations with peers, and clinical resources offered by the IBD Community Network, advanced practice providers (APPs) are able to confidently direct quality IBD management and enhance patient outcomes over time.
