The Premier Point Approach

It takes time to become comfortable with an ostomy. At the time of discharge, many patients experience a significant number of technical, emotional, social, marital/family, and sexual difficulties. Concerns include doubt of their ability to properly care for a stoma, questions concerning their ability to return to work or school, engage in sports or recreational activities, and the stigma associated with pouching systems. The Premier Point nursing staff can help.

Our clinicians will develop the plan of care to promote the appropriate care holistically in maintaining their quality of life. Most importantly, provide assistance to the patient and caregiver on how to inspect the stoma and surrounding skin for any infection indicators, identifying the appropriate ostomy supplies, and monitoring to prevent hospitalization.
