Study Summary
Each year a large number of patients undergo ileostomy surgery, a procedure in which a portion of the small intestine is attached to a hole in the abdominal wall, allowing for digested material to pass into a disposable bag worn attached to the skin. Ileostomies are performed for the treatment of a variety of diseases of the intestinal tract, such as inflammatory bowel disease, intestinal trauma, and gastrointestinal malignancy. Of the patients that undergo ileostomy surgery, 36% will require urgent medical care within the first 30 days of surgery. Most frequently, this is a result of dehydration due to excessive ostomy output. Thus, there is potential for significant improvement of the post-operative outcomes of ileostomy patients. Implementation of an automated text messaging system, EpxOstomy, can provide a way of monitoring patient's daily ostomy output and allow for timely intervention if output is outside normal limits, providing an effective way of improving patient outcomes while simultaneously reducing healthcare costs.
