IBD Case Files 2.0: Advance Practice Providers and Nursing Immersion Program
Chicago, IL US
November 9, 2019
Advanced practice nurses (APNs) and nurses are integral and growing parts of the care and management of IBD for patients. The care they provide includes advanced assessment, diagnosis, treatment/care planning, implementation, evaluation, and patient education. A study on the effectiveness of specialized nursing care in the management of IBD found a reduction in patients’ hospital visits and length of stay, and increased rates of remission. Patient satisfaction improved in key areas, including access to information on IBD and advice on avoidance of illness and maintaining health.
This program will be an invaluable learning experience for nurses seeking basic or advanced IBD knowledge. Formal education in IBD is minimal and lags behind clinical practice. The emergence of the IBD nurse specialist and advanced practice provider role is expanding in the areas of gastroenterology, colorectal surgery, and hospital inpatient and outpatient clinic areas. APNs and physician assistants as providers improve patient access to care and play key roles in the diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing management of IBD patients. This program will provide an opportunity for advanced practice providers and nurses to elicit opinions from IBD experts to gain advanced knowledge, get answers to challenging patient care questions, and observe how evidence-based practice and research are implemented into the daily care of patients.
This activity will educate and provide healthcare professionals with a learning experience focused on the latest information from IBD diagnosis, treatments, research, and management that will result in improved patient outcomes.
