Background:Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients are known to benefit from care delivered in a specialized, interdisciplinary setting. We aimed to evaluate the impact of this model on health outcomes, quality metrics, and health care resource utilization (HRU) in IBD patients insured with Medicaid.Materials and Methods:In July 2017, IBD patients at our tertiary hospital were transitioned from a fellows’ general gastroenterology (GI) clinic to a fellows’ interdisciplinary IBD clinic. IBD patients were included if they were insured with Medicaid, had at least 1 visit in the general GI clinic between July 1, 2016 and June 30, 2017, and at least 1 visit between July 1, 2017 and June 30, 2018 in the IBD clinic. Characteristics related to patients’ IBD course, overall health care maintenance, and HRU were compared.Results:A total of 170 patients (51% male, mean age 39 y) were included. After the transition to the IBD clinic, use of corticosteroids (37% vs. 25%; P= 0.004) and combination therapy were significantly lower (55% vs. 38%; P= 0.0004), although use of high-dose biologics numerically increased (58.5% vs. 67%; P= 0.05). Posttransition, patients showed significantly lower levels of mean C-reactive protein (P= 0.04). After the transition, patients attended significantly fewer outpatient GI visits (P= 0.0008) but were more often seen by other health care specialists (P= 0.0003), and experienced a numeric decrease in HRU with fewer emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and surgeries.Conclusions:Care in an interdisciplinary, IBD specialty setting is associated with significantly decreased corticosteroid use, decreased C-reactive protein levels, and improved access to ancillary services in Medicaid patients.
