Objective To summarize the relevant evidence on the current application of telemedicine in the management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients, in order to provide a reference for the formulation of their telecare programs. Methods The clinical practice guidelines, evidence summaries, expert consensus, and system evaluations related to remote medical management for IBD patients were searched in such databases as BMJ Best Practice, UpToDate, JBI, Cochrane Library, Scottish Interinstitutional Guidelines Network, International Guidelines Network, Ontario Registered Nurses Association Guidelines Network, Campbell Collaboration Network, American Guidelines Network, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the American Telemedicine Association, CNKI and VIP database, with time setting from the inception until December 23, 2023. Then, literature screening, quality evaluation and evidence analysis were conducted by two researchers independently. Results A total of 11 literatures were screened, including 10 systematic reviews and 1 guideline. Finally 11 best pieces of evidence were formed from the four dimensions of management plan, evaluation, effect and problem. Conclusion The clinical medical staff should fully evaluate the actual situation and willingness of patients to improve the nursing quality by using telemedicine rationally and providing timely and effective guidance for IBD patients.
