  • * Participants must be able to consent for themselves
  • * Access to phone AND computer with internet access. Patient must be able to provide electronic mailing address for e-consent documentation and REDCap surveys.
  • * Concern for patient being able to be reached over the phone or reliable internet access for REDCap survey completion
  • * Existing peri-stomal skin breakdown including ulceration or mucocutaneous separation.
  • * Diagnosis of infection around the peristomal region. (erythema is NOT an exclusion criteria)
