NOON til 2:00PM
Meeting room #3 Off the Atrium
Across from the Cafeteria
So grab some lunch or bring some and join us for:
A visit from the MUSC Wound Care Nurses for a QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION about FOOD AND TRAVEL FOR THE UPCOMING HOLIDAYS
AND
Mike Vezeau as he enlightens us on the following:
Ever wonder what you, as an ostomy patient, should expect when you seek medical/social services? Ever hear of the “Ostomy and Continent Diversion Patient ‘Bill of Rights’ (PBOR)? Come to the meeting and we’ll talk about the PBOR and what your expectations should be since December 31, 2017 when the United Ostomy Association of America revised the previous Bill Of Rights which had been in existence since 1977. Most likely many of us didn’t even know the previous PBOR was in existence and therefore never knew what we should be “entitled to" whenever we sought medical care or social services. We’ll include a discussion about the TOP TEN WAYS patients should use the PBOR in furtherance of proper care.
AND
We’ll also talk about a somewhat new Know Your Ostomy Checklist recently distributed by UOAA. So mark your calendar and come and learn about these things which will positively affect us as we continue our daily lives with our ostomy.
