Study Description

Brief Summary:
A comparative effectiveness study using an individual-level randomized design along with a pragmatic, mixed-methods approach to compare two strategies (e.g. in-person supported care, technology-supported care) all of which include evidence-based components for delivering IBD and BH care. Quantitative (e.g. self-report, electronic health record, process) and qualitative (e.g., interviews) data will be collected across multiple time points during the study period.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Inflammatory Bowel Disease Behavioral Symptoms Other: TEAM Other: TECH Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
The investigators propose to conduct a comparative effectiveness research (CER) study of two evidence-based, patient-centered approaches implemented within an existing Specialty Medical Home (SMH) model: TEAM, an in-person, multidisciplinary team-based approach delivered at point of care and TECH, a technology-based (digital therapeutics, and telehealth) approach delivered at the patient's convenience with the guidance of health coaches. Both are designed to support care for adult patients with complex, chronic health conditions and behavioral health (BH) disorders, and will be tested in three of the nation's largest and most established SMHs for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). IBD serves as an exemplary chronic disease model where untreated BH issues have been associated with poor medical outcomes.

Arms and Interventions
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Arm Intervention/treatment
Active Comparator: TEAM-care as usual approach
Patients will be triaged based on their physical health (PH) and behavioral health (BH) complexity to determine the frequency of in-person visits and how much of these visits will be devoted to medical versus BH issues
 Other: TEAM
TEAM incorporates team-based care with traditional in-person clinic visits. The care team includes a gastroenterologist, nurse practitioner, nutritionist, social worker/behavioral health specialist, and a psychologist or psychiatrist.
Active Comparator: TECH-telehealth approach
Each patient will have an initial face-to-face visit with the core treatment team described above and undergo the same triage process to determine their PH/BH care needs. Each TECH patient will participate in one face-to-face treatment team visit per year unless more frequent visits are deemed to be medically necessary; however, all other interactions will be conducted via technology-supported modalities
 Other: TECH
TECH uses team-based care similar to TEAM, but in-person care is substituted with telemedicine (i.e., video visits and consultations) and digital behavioral health tools.
