Crohn’s disease: management

Resource impact statement

No significant resource impact is anticipated

We do not expect this update to the NICE guideline on Crohn’s disease: management to have a significant impact on resources; that is:

• the resource impact of implementing any single guideline recommendation will be less than £1 million per year in England (or £1,800 per 100,000 population) and
• the resource impact of implementing the whole guideline in England will be less than £5 million per year (or £9,100 per 100,000 population).

The updated guideline reviewed the evidence on maintaining remission after surgery and now reflects current clinical practice more closely. Where clinical practice does change as a result of this update, there will not be a significant change in resource use.

Crohn’s disease services are commissioned by clinical commissioning groups. Providers are NHS hospital trusts and primary care services.
