(Lecture and Discussion) CONTACT HOURS: 1
Speaker: Lee Rubin
Machines are evaluated based on the output of the entire unit, not the impressiveness of their individual parts. Extraordinary teams, like great machines, require certain components that hold their pieces together. While most organizations focus exclusively on building the skills of their individual members, elite organizations invest in the “stuff” that transforms a collection of talented individuals into extraordinary, machinelike teams.

SUPPORTED BY HOLLISTER INCORPORATED
Regulatory bodies have not yet set parameters for measuring convex ostomy product characteristics and as a result, manufacturers have developed different means for measuring and describing them. Clinicians consequently select convex skin barriers based on subjective assessments rather than objective criteria. An international group of ostomy care nurses met to discuss and put forward five objective and easily identifiable characteristics that can be used when considering a convex skin barrier for a person with an ostomy’s individual need. Attend this session to learn more about the proposed standardized nomenclature and enhance your selection criteria of convex ostomy skin barrier products.

MASD is a complex condition that, when coupled with a shift in demographics towards an aging population and unspecified diagnosis codes, has placed a significant burden on patients and the health system. The WOCN Society responded to this need by applying for ICD-10-CM codes specific to MASD conditions related to irritant contact dermatitis. On October 1, 2021 those new codes for MASD conditions went into effect, having been approved by the ICD-10 Coordination and Maintenance Committee. Attend this session to learn more about the new codes and what actions YOU need to take to incorporate them into your practice.

Speakers: Mary Litchford, PHD, RDN, LDN Nancy Munoz, DCN, MHA, RDN, FAND
Does poor diet contribute to the burden of chronic disease and premature death? The Global Burden of Disease Study demonstrated that poor diet is an equal opportunity killer linked to 11 million deaths worldwide. Poor diets and many of the health consequences that follow are modifiable. This session will look at ostomy and skin health and through the lens of nutrition as a critical component of overall well-being, healing wounds, and sustaining skin integrity. We will examine trends in health and popular diets, role of key nutrients in the medical management of selected chronic diseases and provide actionoriented strategies to meet nutrient requirements for skin integrity, wound healing and to manage nutrition-related ostomy problems.
(205) Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (O, C, PP)
Speaker: Denise Hibbert, RGN, MSc, BSc(hons), DipHe, ONC, STN, FSSCRS
Globally there are around 1.8 million new cases of colorectal cancer per year with rectal cancer accounting for one third of all colorectal cancers. Sphincter sparing surgery with low anterior resection of the rectum is commonly the surgery of choice. Low anterior resection syndrome (LARS), faecal urgency, incontinence and difficult evacuation, often combined with urinary and sexual dysfunction, may be a consequence. Advances in the treatment of rectal cancer have increased cancer survivorship leading to an increase in individuals with LARS. Enterostomal Therapists, WOC Nurses and Colorectal Nurse Specialist, are well positioned to assess and manage many of the LARS symptoms.
