Summary

This trial aims to study the use of standardized care pathways for patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) to improve treatment outcomes. The researchers will investigate how implementing a Biologic Care Pathway

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, or other IBDs who are starting anti-TNF biologic therapy. It excludes those with severe intestinal complications, active infections, cancer, or any reason they can't have biologic treatments.
What is being tested?
The study tests a Biologic Care Pathway (BCP) to see if it improves patient outcomes in IBD treatment compared to usual care without BCP. The focus is on the integration of BCP into clinical practice and its effects on health outcomes and healthcare efficiency.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed for the pathway itself, typical risks associated with anti-TNF biologics include infection risk increase, potential allergic reactions, and possible worsening of heart failure among others.
