(S05) Breakfast Symposia - Beyond Fit: Advancing Peristomal Skin Health Through Smarter Barrier Formulation
Time: 7:00 AM to 8:15 AM
Description
Peristomal skin health is a critical concern for individuals living with an ostomy, yet alignment around its definition and value remains unclear among clinicians, end users,
and experts given the current primary focus of secure pouching system fit.
During this presentation we’ll uncover why misalignment in defining skin health creates barriers to care, examine the paradox of choice regarding patient product selection, and highlight opportunities for education and collaboration across clinicians, industry, and end users. Join us to learn how unified messaging and evidence-based strategies can transform outcomes and elevate the standard of ostomy care.
This session is supported by Hollister Incorporated.
