Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effectiveness of multidisciplinary team (MDT) meetings for spondyloarthritis (SpA) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) at a UK university hospital from 2017-2022, involving 226 patient cases.
- Results indicated that 97% of the meetings enhanced team communication, 57% led to immediate changes in disease management, and 40% helped avoid unnecessary dual therapy, thus improving patient safety.
- The meetings were efficient, preventing 125 specialist referrals and potentially lowering future drug costs, while also expediting investigations for better patient care.
