Transitions of care across hospital settings in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

CONCLUSION: Transitions of care between secondary care settings are common for patients with IBD. Effective systems of data-sharing and care integration are essential to providing safe and effective care for patients. Geographic and age-related patterns of care transitions identified in this study may be used to guide interventions aimed at improving continuity of care. PMID: 31114138 [PubMed - in process]
