Virtual Care Toolkit Download now Introduction In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic brought many changes to the personal and work lives of all Canadian health care professionals. The only option for many Nurses Specialized in Wound, Ostomy, and Continence (NSWOCs) to continue to provide support and direction to clients with wounds, ostomies, and continence challenges was through virtual care. Most NSWOCs and many health care organizations / employers lacked experience in this method of providing care; furthermore, systems to support both the client and the health care professionals were not in place. Canadian NSWOCs developed a way to support their clients. We learned a lot individually and collectively, from protecting client privacy and information to gathering pertinent data without seeing a client in person. In the fall of 2022, a group of NSWOCs interested in virtual care came together to develop this toolkit to assist Canadian NSWOCs to safely provide virtual care in their practices. No longer are NSWOCs required to figure it out as they go, as many had done in 2020. The NSWOCC Virtual Care Toolkit is divided into five sections: Legal and Regulatory Considerations, Technology, Equity-Oriented Care, Delivery of Virtual Care, and Knowledge Transfer. Within each section, considerations for virtual care are highlighted, and suggestions for addressing these concerns are included. Much of the available literature in the realm of virtual care relates to wound care. The advice offered here for ostomy and continence virtual care is largely the expert opinion of the task force. We have chosen to use the term client throughout meaning a “recipient of care: in the community-client, in residential care-resident, and in acute care-patient.” Read More Quick response (QR) codes have been included in this document to aid you in accessing additional resources.

Recognizing excellence involves acknowledging and celebrating exceptional performance, achievements, or contributions in the tri-specialty of wound, ostomy and continence specialized nursing care. The goal is to motivate individuals and teams to maintain high standards and foster this culture of excellence. By launching a Fellowship program, NSWOCC has taken a significant step towards recognition focusing on the careers of select individuals who have made exemplary contributions to the tri-specialty. This Fellowship program is grounded in promising practices and we are privileged to be launching the new program on May 24, 2024. On behalf of Nurses Specialized in Wound, Ostomy and Continence Canada (NSWOCC), I am excited to welcome our first, inaugural Fellows. Fellowship represents the highest honour for NSWOCC’s most recognized Nurses Specialized in Wound, Ostomy and Continence (NSWOCs). NSWOCC honours its clinical thought leaders, its significant voices in education and policy. This Fellowship Program is intended to celebrate contributions to NSWOCC and the nursing specialty of wound, ostomy and continence. Fellows selected for this program are recognized for their major impact on the advancement of the clinical, evidence and practice and are chosen not at their request or intent to be recognized. Rather, Fellows are identified and chosen based on outstanding practice. Within the framework of the tri-specialty, Fellows contribute to critical quality initiatives that support effective, evidence-based patient/resident care. The future of specialized wound, ostomy and continence leadership rests on dedication, shaping thought leadership through education, policy and exemplary nursing practice, and positively impacting change in the specialized areas of wound, ostomy and continence. As the first group of NSWOCC Fellows, these individuals will serve as role models and mentors to the next generation of nurses. As this Fellowship program grows, these individuals will continue to be impactful as a remarkable resource of wisdom and expertise to advance nursing care, education, research and policy leadership. The NSWOCC being inducted as inaugural Fellows reflect a wide diversity of nursing leadership and impact. Every one of these individuals has clearly demonstrated a sustained and powerful commitment to unique issues present in wound, ostomy and continence health. These clinical thought leaders are not only viewed by their peers as leaders in the field of the tri-specialty of wound, ostomy and continence nursing, they are also seen as a leading legacy of the extraordinary leadership contributions they have made. I would like to thank them personally for their dedication and efforts during some very challenging years, where clinical and health system complexity has increased, as have patient needs, acuity, and risk. Nurses Specialized in Wound, Ostomy and Continence do not abandon their patients, or their colleagues, or the broader profession – they want the very best outcome and they do what it takes: they care, support, advocate, educate, and lead. As we move into the future, we know we are better for their wisdom, experience and voice. Their impact will shape the future of wound, ostomy and continence specialized healthcare provision in Canada, and inspire the next generation of nurses in the field. For making a difference for nurses, aligned healthcare professionals and patients, we salute you. They deserve to hold the credential of NSWOCC – Fellow in Nurses Specialized in Wound, Ostomy and Continence, and are worthy holders of this credential. We celebrate you, we recognize you and we look forward to many more NSWOCCs following in your footsteps as we move into the future. 2025 Inaugural Fellows Nicole Denis, MScN, BScN, NSWOC, FNSWOC Nicole Denis is the Wound, Ostomy and Continence Institute Preceptor Manager.
