Dansac Stoma Siting Training App

Stoma siting can be particularly challenging in patients with unusual body shapes and getting it wrong can result in costly readmissions for corrective surgery. Dansac asked Chameleon to create an interactive Stoma Siting App to support the education of stoma nurses and help improve the accuracy of stoma siting. The App featured a range of ‘non standard’ body shapes and enabled nurses to suggest the correct siting for the stoma. Results were captured in a scoreboard format, if a wrong siting was made, the nurse would be advised on the correct siting and the reasons why explained. This fun, interactive learning tool, was used in Educational Workshops on large touch screens, promoting lively debate and discussion, but most importantly, highlighting the importance of this issue.
