Integration of mental health and quality of life screening tools in an inflammatory bowel disease‐specific electronic medical record (Crohn Colitis Care): process and early outcomes
Abstract: Psychological problems are prevalent in people with inflammatory bowel diseases but are not routinely addressed. To improve recognition, three psychological screening tools were integrated into clinical management software (Crohn Colitis Care). In the first 6 months, completion rates varied between participating sites, and approximately 23–34% of respondents scored in moderate or higher ranges for psychological distress. Evaluation of the clinical utility of the module to improve patient outcomes is recommended.
