Sourcing and Supplying Ostomy Solutions

You can count on Coloplast as a partner, as we seek to reduce your overall ostomy supply costs and improve patient outcomes & satisfaction scores.

Without the right ostomy care solutions, 30-day ostomy readmissions could end up costing your facility major costs per re-admittance¹. So even though ostomy may be a low-spend category, without a successful continuum of care, patient complications could end up affecting your bottom line.

Additionally, lots of SKUs can be challenging to facilities, with each one averaging a $2,000 carrying cost². And more variants in SKUs can cause more variants in ways of delivering care. With our simplified product formulary Coloplast has shown to reduce a facility’s SKU count by 60 percent and increased patient satisfaction by 25%³.
