Abstract

The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease has increased in pediatric populations over the last decade. Patients diagnosed in childhood survive well into adulthood, and therefore healthcare requires transfer to an adult gastroenterologist. The interplay of the primary care provider and gastroenterologist can help foster the delivery of comprehensive disease management for the patient with inflammatory bowel disease. This chapter will focus on the complexities involved in transition to adult care along with issues with which the primary care provider can assist the subspecialist in the co-management of patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
