Increasing physician‐perceived comfort about ostomies in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease: An interprofessional quality improvement project
Ostomy surgery in pediatric IBD is a complex medical decision with notable stigma, demonstrating a pressing need to facilitate non-stigmatizing and psychosocially mindful clinical discussions. This QI project demonstrated how interprofessional education and resources increased physician-perceived comfort in ostomy discussions among IBD attendings and GI medical fellows at an ImproveCareNow site.
