Patient Centered Algorithms to Optimize the Inpatient Experience and Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis

Summary

Hospitalized patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) are at increased risk for a variety of complications such as infections, venous thrombosis, and surgery. The literature has revealed significant variation in the quality of care to hospitalized UC patients. As a result, guidelines for the management of these patients have been developed. However, the update of guidelines are variable. Admission to hospital can also have significant impact on quality of life due to interruptions in life commitments and lost sense of control of disease. Maintaining a sense of self-control of disease and active participation in care has been shown to be valuable among individuals with chronic diseases. The investigators propose the development of a multi-site, patient centred initiative aimed at improving clinical and patient-centered outcomes through an educational iPad based tool for patients admitted to hospital with ulcerative colitis.
