This evidence-based digital guidebook synthesizes the latest data, guidance, and strategies to optimize the preventive health of patients with IBD. Expert gastroenterologists, Neilanjan Nandi, MD and Nana Bernasko, CRNP, DNP, WHNP-BC, offer a ‘how-to’ method with real-world strategies for IBD preventive health maintenance.
The guidebook also includes commentary on:
• Factors contributing to poor IBD preventive health maintenance
• Best practices for collaboration between gastroenterology and primary care providers
• Strategies and tools for maximal preventive health maintenance
• Testimony from faculty
This activity is intended for gastroenterologists, gastroenterology nurses, OB/GYN’s, primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and other members of the IBD multidisciplinary care team.
Clinicians on the multidisciplinary IBD team should understand the importance of IBD preventive health maintenance (including scheduled vaccinations), particularly in underrepresented groups with IBD (e.g. elderly, pediatric patients, minority groups). Additionally, clinicians must understand the latest strategies and tools for optimizing IBD preventive health as well as best practices for interdisciplinary collaboration between gastroenterology and primary care providers.
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Outline the clinical importance for the appropriate vaccinations of underrepresented populations (e.g. elderly, pediatric patients, minority groups) with IBD on immunosuppressive therapies
- Discuss strategies and tools for maximal preventive health maintenance related to cancer, osteoporosis and mental health screening as well as health behaviors such as smoking cessation in underrepresented population patients with IBD
- Employ methods to improve vaccination as well as health maintenance approaches detailed in the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation’s health maintenance consensus for adults with IBD
- Develop best practices for collaboration between GI providers and primary care providers for optimized patient-centered health outcomes

No one with the ability to control content of this activity has a relevant financial relationship with an ineligible company except, Dr. Neilanjan Nandi who is on the IBD institutional grant review board for Pfizer. This relationship has been mitigated.
Discussion of Off-Label, Investigational, or Experimental Drug/Device Use: Off-label thiopurines, methotrexate, and cyclosporine for IBD.
ACHL and Penn State College of Medicine staff involved in the development and review of this activity have disclosed no relevant financial relationships.
The content for this activity was developed independently of the commercial supporter. All materials are included with permission. The opinions expressed are those of the faculty and are not to be construed as those of the publisher or grantor.
This educational activity was planned and produced in accordance with the ACCME Standards for Integrity and Independence in Accredited Continuing Education. Recommendations involving clinical medicine in a continuing medical education (CME/CE) activity must be based on evidence that is accepted within the profession of medicine as adequate justification for their indications and contraindications in the care of patients. All scientific research referred to, reported, or used in CME/CE in support or justification of a patient care recommendation must conform to the generally accepted standards of experimental design, data collection, and analysis.
This CME/CE activity might describe the off-label, investigational, or experimental use of medications that may exceed their FDA-approved labeling. Physicians should consult the current manufacturers’ prescribing information for these products. ACHL requires the speaker to disclose that a product is not labeled for the use under discussion.
This activity will take approximately 75 minutes to complete. To receive credit, participants are required to complete the pretest, view the online activity and complete the posttest and evaluation. To receive credit, 75% must be achieved on the posttest. A certificate will be immediately available. There is no fee to participate in the activity or for the generation of the certificate.
