Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is associated with substantial symptom burden, variability in clinical outcomes, and high direct costs. We sought to determine if a care coordination-based strategy was effective at improving patient symptom burden and reducing healthcare costs for patients with IBD in the top quintile of predicted healthcare utilization and costs. We performed a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of a patient-tailored multicomponent care coordination intervention composed of proactive symptom monitoring and care coordinator-triggered algorithms. Enrolled patients with IBD were randomized to usual care or to our care coordination intervention over a 9-month period (04/2019 – 1/2020). Primary outcomes included change in patient symptom scores throughout the intervention and IBD-related charges at 12 months. Eligible IBD patients in the top quintile for predicted healthcare utilization and expenditures were identified. 205 patients were enrolled and randomized to our intervention (n=100) or usual care (n=105). Patients in the care coordinator arm demonstrated an improvement in symptoms scores compared to usual care (coefficient −0.68, 95% CI, −1.18 to −0.18; p=.008) without a significant difference in median annual IBD-related healthcare charges ($10,094 vs $9,080, P=.322). In this first randomized controlled trial of a patient-tailored care coordination intervention, composed of proactive symptom monitoring and care coordinator-triggered algorithms, we observed an improvement in patient symptom scores but not healthcare charges. Care coordination programs may represent an effective value-based approach to improving symptoms scores without added direct costs in a subgroup of high-risk patients with IBD. NCT04796571 Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is associated with substantial symptom burden and high direct costs. Interestingly, less than 10% of patients with IBD patients account for over 50% of healthcare expenditures A multicomponent intervention incorporating proactive symptom monitoring and care coordinator-triggered algorithms is feasible for patients with IBD at high risk for health utilization. Our intervention was effective at reducing patient symptoms scores but not healthcare charges. IBD centers can utilize integrated patient portal resources or low-cost web-platforms to support care coordination through symptom monitoring and care coordinator triggered algorithms to reduce symptom burden without increasing costs for high-risk patients with IBD
