Many nurses have limited experience with ostomy management. We sought to provide
a standardized approach to ostomy education and management to support nurses in
early identification of stomal and peristomal complications, pouching problems,
and provide standardized solutions for managing ostomy care in general while
improving utilization of formulary products. This article describes development
and testing of an ostomy algorithm tool.
