{Abstract}: <B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Standardizing care through pathways has the potential to reduce emergency department (ED) utilization. We developed and evaluated inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) care pathways for that purpose.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Over 2014-2016, IBD patients were retrospectively stratified into those managed and not managed by pathways. Patient data were extracted, and negative binomial regression used to predict the annual number of ED visits.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>There was a difference of 30.7 ED visits/100 patients between managed and nonmanaged at 12 months (P < 0.001). The incidence rate ratio of total ED visits occurring annually was 0.750 (P = 0.008).<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Management with IBD care pathways reduces ED utilization.
