Supporting Hospital WOC Nurses with Care for their Ostomy Patients
Hospital WOC nurses often find it challenging to continue supporting their ostomy patients after discharge, leaving them without essential guidance for managing their ostomies. To address this concern, Ostomy 101 has partnered with Corstrata to offer virtual clinical consultation services to ostomy patients in their homes. Through this collaboration, hospital WOC nurses can refer their patients to Corstrata's team of WOC nurses, who will provide personalized support and education.
Corstrata's specialized ostomy nurses assess each patient's needs, recommend supplies, and teach self-care skills. This partnership allows hospital nurses to extend their support beyond the hospital, ensuring patients receive consistent, high-quality, post-discharge care without increasing hospital nurses' workloads. The virtual solution complements the care provided by ostomy nurses, enabling a seamless transition and optimal outcomes for patients adjusting to life with an ostomy.

We can follow your patients once discharged from your care and current care setting to provide ongoing support and education. The aim is to decrease phone calls and frustrations, decrease hospital readmissions and ER visits, assist the patient with their transitions in care, supplies, and support continuity of care.

Patient Care
We aim to support you in YOUR care setting, when your caseload is high and unmanageable, during vacation times or sick leave, and with special projects that pull on your time. For instance, if you already have your plate full with wound vac dressing changes and new ostomy patients, define what patients we could specifically see for you to ease your load and improve care needed throughout your organization.

Collaboration and Teamwork: Want some backup or a second opinion? Our experienced WOC nurses can mentor new or less experienced colleagues by sharing their knowledge, skills, and practical tips. This mentorship can cover advanced wound care techniques, complex cases and wound assessments, and ostomy management
