Improve Patient Outcomes

Ostomy Care is the 2nd leading cause of 30-day readmission rates in the United States, second only to kidney transplants¹. Through product innovation and a comprehensive patient support program called Coloplast Care we have shown to reduce 30-day readmission rates by 30% and emergency room visits by 45% ².  

Coloplast® Care

To help improve ostomy patient outcomes and quality of life, we created Coloplast Care. A recent study found that 83 percent of patients say Coloplast Care improved their stoma-related quality of life.⁴
