Exploring the Experiences of Virtual Inflammatory Bowel Disease Care in Saskatchewan.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundIndividuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) require life-long interactions with the healthcare system. Virtual care (VC) technologies are becoming increasingly utilized for accessing healthcare services. Research related to the use of VC technology for the management of IBD in Canada is limited. This study aimed to examine the VC experiences from the perspectives of individuals with IBD and gastroenterology care providers (GCPs).
methodsA patient-oriented, qualitative descriptive approach was used. Semi-structured interviews were completed with individuals with IBD and GCPs. Data were analyzed using an inductive content analysis approach.
resultsA total of 25 individuals with IBD and five GCPs were interviewed. Three categories were identified: benefits of virtual IBD care delivery, challenges of virtual IBD care delivery, and optimizing IBD care delivery. Individuals with IBD and GCPs were satisfied with the use of VC technology for appointments. Participants believed VC was convenient and allowed enhanced access to care. However, VC was not considered ideal in some instances, such as during disease flares or first appointments. Thus, a blended use of virtual and in-person appointments was suggested for individualized care.
conclusionsThe virtual method of connecting patients and providers is deemed useful for routine appointments and for persons living in rural areas. VC is becoming more common in the IBD care environment. Nurses are in a key position to facilitate and enhance virtual IBD care delivery for the benefit of both individuals living with IBD and providers.
