BACKGROUND: Individuals hospitalized with severe ulcerative colitis represent a complex group of patients. Variation exists in the quality of care of admitted patients with inflammatory bowel disease. We hypothesized that implementation of a standardized admission order set could result in improved adherence to current best practice guidelines (Toronto Consensus Statements) for the management of this patient population.
METHODS: A retrospective cohort study of patients admitted with severe ulcerative colitis to a Montreal tertiary center was conducted. Two cohorts were defined based on pre- and post-implementation of a standardized order set. Adherence to 11 quality indicators was assessed before and after implementation of the intervention. These included: Clostridioides difficile and stool cultures testing, ordering an abdominal X-ray and CRP, organizing a flexible sigmoidoscopy, documenting latent tuberculosis, initiating thromboprophylaxis, use of intravenous steroids, prescribing infliximab if refractory to steroids, limiting narcotics, and surgical consultation if refractory to medical therapy.
RESULTS: Adherence to 6 of the 11 quality indicators was improved in the post-intervention cohort. Significant increases were noted in adherence to C difficile testing (75.5% versus 91.9%, P < 0.05), CRP testing (71.4% versus 94.6%, P < 0.01), testing for latent tuberculosis (38.1% versus 84.6%, P < 0.01), thromboprophylaxis (28.6% versus 94.6%, P < 0.01), adequate corticosteroids prescription (72.9% versus 94.6%, P < 0.01), and limitation of narcotics prescribed (68.8% versus 38.9%, P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONS: Implementation of a standardized order set, focused on pre-defined quality indicators for hospitalized patients with severe UC, was associated with meaningful improvements to most quality indicators defined by the Toronto Consensus Statements.
