Weston General Hospital - Stoma Care

Weston General Hospital - Stoma Care featured image
Pledge To reduce the inconsistency in treatment and management of high output ileostomy's and enable the correct treatment in the first insistence.

Why I  identified that there was a problem with the treatment within the Hospital with staff being unaware of the correct management when treating dehydration in a person with an ileostomy. This meant that patients did not receive appropriate treatment in a timely manner.

I wanted to develop something visual to make a instant impact also in Drs K drive file and in every ITU folder

So I developed a flow chart

 

 

What have been the outcomes?

- Achieved that every patient does have treatment initiated quicker

- Doctors informed of appropriate treatment

-Standardised guidelines

- Shortened length of stay
