Abstract
BACKGROUND Crohn's disease patients may require multiple surgeries during their lifetime. Because operative reports are not standardized, information relevant to future management may not be documented. Synoptic reports used in other fields such as histopathology have proven to be effective and allow consistent documentation of results. The aim of this study was to retrospectively review the completeness of the operative reports for ileocolic Crohn's resections (ICR) and to propose a synoptic report. METHODS A draft synoptic operative report for ICR for Crohn's disease was presented in the IBD multidisciplinary meeting and a Delphi process used to gain consensus for inclusion in the synoptic report. Retrospective analysis of consecutive ICR from January 2010 to April 2023 was undertaken to determine the presence of the standardized criteria. RESULTS A total of 66 ICR were performed in 63 patients during the study period. No operation reports were excluded. The examination of bowel for macroscopic disease was partially documented in 88% cases. The extent of mesenteric resection and any difficulty encountered during dissection were poorly documented. The remaining length of small and large intestines was not documented in most operative reports. The clinical sections that were compulsory entrance in the electronic operative report achieved 100% compliance. CONCLUSION This study has demonstrated that key information was often deficient in the operative report. This may have a significant impact on the future management of Crohn's patients and affects the interpretation of research outcomes. A proposed clinical synoptic operative report is easy to use and ensures compliance.

Abstract
Rising compounding prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (Kaplan GG, Windsor JW. The four epidemiological stages in the global evolution of inflammatory bowel disease. Nat Rev Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2021;18:56-66.) and pandemic-exacerbated health system resource limitations have resulted in significant variability in access to high-quality, evidence-based, person-centered specialty care for Canadians living with IBD. Individuals with IBD have identified long wait times, gaps in biopsychosocial care, treatment and travel expenses, and geographic and provider variation in IBD specialty care and knowledge as some of the key barriers to access. Care delivered within integrated models of care (IMC) has shown promise related to impact on disease-related outcomes and quality of life. However, access to these models is limited within the Canadian healthcare systems and much remains to be learned about the most appropriate IMC team composition and roles. Although eHealth technologies have been leveraged to overcome some access challenges since COVID-19, more research is needed to understand how best to integrate eHealth modalities (i.e., video or telephone visits) into routine IBD care. Many individuals with IBD are satisfied with these eHealth modalities. However, not all disease assessment and monitoring can be achieved through virtual modalities. The need for access to person-centered, objective disease monitoring strategies, inclusive of point of care intestinal ultrasound, is more pressing than ever given pandemic-exacerbated restrictions in access to endoscopy and cross-sectional imaging. Supporting learning healthcare systems for IBD and research relating to the strategic use of innovative and integrative implementation strategies for evidence-based IBD care interventions are greatly needed. Data derived from this research will be essential to appropriately allocating scarce resources aimed at improving person-centred access to cost-effective IBD care.
