A proven pathway for stoma care: the value of stoma care services
1Director, Clinical Nursing Services, Hollister Limited.
Abstract:
The role of the stoma nurse is often misunderstood by those who have little or no understanding of the complexities of their role. Stoma nurses face challenges when communicating the valuable role they provide in relation to quality, value and cost. The implementation of an accredited pathway designed specifically for stoma patients would not only promote excellence in nursing practice, but would also assist the stoma nurse in building the profile of the specialty. The accredited pathway should outline the sequence and timings of actions necessary to achieve expected patient outcomes and organisational goals regarding quality of care, costs, patient experience and efficiency.

Ostomy Care
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:
