A practice change for patients with severe chronic, clinically unexplained gastrointestinal symptoms: A randomised, controlled intervention to assess efficacy and cost-effectiveness

不明原因的慢性胃肠道症状非常常见，对卫生系统来说代价高昂。目前，在医院环境下，病人的管理采用“典型的”面对面的基于办公室的模式，临床医生花费宝贵的时间收集信息，并经常以非标准的方式提供治疗(例如，联合医疗)。该项目将评估一种新的标准最佳实践临床模型的有效性，该模型采用结构化技术支持的管理方法。

Unexplained chronic gastrointestinal symptoms are extremely common and costly to the health system. Currently patients are managed in the hospital setting with the 'typical' face-to-face office-based model which sees the clinician spending valuable time gathering information and often treatments (e.g. allied health) delivered in a non-standard way. This project will evaluate the effectiveness of a new standard best-practice clinical model with a structured technology enabled management approach.
