Models of outpatient care delivery in inflammatory bowel disease: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

As inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) becomes increasingly common worldwide, optimizing service delivery is critical to ensuring timely access to high-quality IBD care. We conducted a scoping review to understand the extent and type of evidence related to models of outpatient IBD care.

Methods

We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and PsycINFO from inception to April 29, 2025 to identify English-language studies describing or evaluating models of care delivery for individuals with IBD in outpatient settings. Eligible peer-reviewed articles included publications of any type (primary studies, reviews, perspectives) focusing on any age group, timepoints in care (eg, transition from pediatric to adult care), and context (eg, remote delivery).
