What patients say

"I had been struggling with leakage issues since my surgery and was unable to find a local specialist to help. The Corstrata nurse was terrific. She listened and I learned from her. And after her examination of my stoma and body she saw that I received a pouching system better suited to my needs. I could not have gotten this in my community".

What patients say

"We do not have enough words to express our appreciation for the services provided by the Corstrata nurse. Her courteous, professional, and caring attitude helped us identify the root cause of catastrophic failures of the system resulting in frequent and significant leakages that had us on edge. Also, since my father’s primary language is Spanish, he was able to follow her, and respond to her instructions as she spoke Spanish and he felt extremely comfortable with the virtual visit".

Supporting Hospital WOC Nurses with Care for their Ostomy Patients

 

Hospital WOC Nurses frequently express frustration that they cannot continue to support their ostomy patients once discharged from the hospital, leaving these patients without the guidance needed to manage their ostomies effectively. Ostomy 101 is collaborating with Corstrata to address this challenge by offering ostomy patients virtual clinical consultation services through Corstrata in the privacy of their homes. Hospital WOC nurses can now refer their patients to Corstrata’s team of WOC nurses, who will provide personalized, ongoing support and education to help patients navigate the complexities of ostomy care. Corstrata's specialized ostomy nurses will work closely with each patient to assess their unique needs, recommend appropriate supplies, and teach essential self-care skills.

 

By leveraging Corstrata's expertise, ostomy nurses can rest assured that their patients will receive high-quality, consistent care even after leaving the hospital. This partnership empowers nurses to extend their reach and continue supporting their patients without increasing their workload.

 

Corstrata's virtual solution is designed to complement, not replace, the care provided by ostomy nurses. Nurses can feel confident that Corstrata WOC nurses will work with their patients during their recovery to ensure a seamless transition and optimal outcomes. This partnership enables nurses to provide the comprehensive, long-term support their patients require, addressing a critical gap in the current care of persons learning to live with a new ostomy.

Corstrata, a wound and ostomy care management leader, is partnered with Ostomy 101, an educational platform for ostomy patients, to transform ostomy care and support. Our partnership recognizes that current insurance policies do not cover ostomy support services, and it urges ostomates to help them advocate this coverage. We are calling on those interested in advocating for covered services to sign up below. Your action in providing us with your insurance company's name will allow us to contact them and petition for ostomy support coverage, making a significant difference in the lives of ostomates.
