Description:
Although there is not definitive data on the actual number of persons who have a surgical ostomy, estimates for the United States are between 500,000 and 800,000 with a 3% annual growth rate since 2000. Persons who have ostomies differ from many other surgical patients, as they deal with complex physical, psychological, social and financial issues, even if the surgery is a complete success. Nurses and pharmacists are among those healthcare professionals who need access to current care guidelines, product information and educational information so as to offer an integrated approach to provide the person with a stoma the best possible outcome. |
