Assessing attitudes, access, barriers, and facilitators to multidisciplinary care in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Multidisciplinary care is recommended for pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study aims to describe provider attitudes, barriers, and facilitators regarding multidisciplinary care in pediatric IBD, and explore associations between multidisciplinary care access and center-level factors.

Methods

This is a cross-sectional survey of pediatric gastrointestinal (GI) providers at centers registered with the ImproveCareNow (ICN) Learning Health System in the United States. Participants completed the survey via REDCap. Respondents provided demographic information and answered questions regarding their center's access and approach to multidisciplinary IBD care. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-squared, and Fisher's exact tests.
