Summary
To improve cost-effectiveness in stoma care, a stoma care team collaborated with a clinical commissioning group (CCG) to educate local surgeries on patient needs, aiming for better control over stoma product ordering and budget usage.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare Management
- Stoma Care
- Health Economics
Background:
- Significant expenditure on stoma appliances and accessories in England necessitates improved value for money and process control.
- Current spending on stoma care products highlights the need for efficient budget management without restricting patient access.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore a collaborative approach between stoma care teams and clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) to enhance understanding of patient needs.
- To facilitate better control over the ordering of stoma care products by patients and general practitioners (GPs).
Main Methods:
- A stoma care team partnered with a local CCG to improve local surgical teams' comprehension of their stoma patient population's requirements.
- Development of 'Key Messages' to guide cost-effective stoma care practices.
Main Results:
- Enhanced understanding of local stoma care population needs among surgical teams.
- Establishment of a framework to aid in the cost-effective management of stoma care products.
Conclusions:
- Collaboration between stoma care teams and CCGs can lead to more appropriate budget utilization.
- The developed 'Key Messages' serve as a practical tool for achieving cost-effective stoma care and optimizing resource allocation.

Introduction
An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:

Tracheostomy care is an essential nursing skill that involves cleaning and maintaining a tracheostomy tube to prevent infection and other complications. Here's a step-by-step guide explaining each procedure with its rationale. Note that disposable gloves are to be worn at all times and changed as often as needed to maintain a sterile work environment, and to protect both patient and healthcare worker.

A tracheostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening into the trachea, typically at the second or third cartilaginous ring level. This opening allows the insertion of a tracheostomy tube, which can replace an endotracheal tube, provide mechanical ventilation, bypass an upper airway obstruction, or remove accumulated tracheobronchial secretions.
Tracheostomy tubes can be made of semiflexible plastic (polyurethane or silicone), rigid plastic, or metal, and they come in...
