This study favoured a virtual clinic-led model-of-care over standard outpatient care in facilitating treatment success as part of an effective treat-to-target approach in Crohn's disease. A virtual clinic model-of-care also improved treatment outcomes and quality of use of intensified anti-TNF therapy through processes that promoted appropriate dose intensification and tight-disease monitoring, while encouraging more frequent dose de-escalation.
