TL;DR
Self-management of ulcerative colitis accelerates treatment provision and reduces doctor visits, and does not increase morbidity, which could be used in long-term management of many other chronic diseases.
Abstract
Self-management of ulcerative colitis accelerates treatment provision and reduces doctor visits, and does not increase morbidity. This approach could be used in long-term management of many other chronic diseases to improve health-service provision and use, and to reduce costs.
