Introduction

Nurses Specialized in Wound, Ostomy and Continence Canada (NSWOCC) launched their new name on May 4, 2018 during the Annual Members meeting at the 37th annual national conference in Victoria, B.C.. Over the past twelve months, the implementation of the association name change, plus the change of name from Enterostomal Therapy Nurse to Nurse Specialized in Wound, Ostomy and Continence (NSWOC) is creating a clear, new identity and strategically positions NSWOCC. NSWOC is a protected title in Canada and the new Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) certification credential WOCC(C), standing for wound, ostomy and continence Canada certified, is a protected credential for certification in wound, ostomy and continence specialized nursing. In the past year, the CAET Academy was rebranded to the Wound, Ostomy and Continence Institute. A new strategic plan was developed which included the re-development of the Wound, Ostomy & Continence Education Program (WOC-EP) and upgrades to the “Foundations of Skin Health” – Ostomy and Wound Programs. The CNA changed their requirement for the number of exam writers to 100 per year in order to maintain the existing certification exams. Due to this, and the market demand for Nurses Specialized in Wound, Ostomy and Continence, the WOC-EP Program was doubled successfully. We had over a 30% increase in NSWOC writing the CNA certification exam in 2018. We are focused on leading WOC Education in Canada and maintaining and growing members as we work to build the next generation of NSWOC.

A key to the ongoing success of the NSWOCC has always been the ability to adapt to the changing healthcare environment by adopting new approaches to address new challenges. In 2018, challenges facing nurses specialized in wound, ostomy and continence in the Canadian healthcare system include budget cut backs, downsizing of staff and lack of access to products and services to assist patients. Increasing rates of retirement of existing NSWOC makes it necessary to focus on succession planning and building capacity of new NSWOC graduating from the Wound, Ostomy and Continence Institute.

The changing nature of healthcare delivery, the aging population, the need to address wound, ostomy and continence issues of our Indigenous Canadians and the evolving role between the provincial and federal governments, require, more than ever, a strong professional association that can form strategic partnerships and support advocacy. Bringing value to the NSWOCC membership is a key priority and can be demonstrated through continuing the CINAHL library which all NSWOCC members can access through the Members Site, to support literature searches and evidence-based practice.

The Board of Directors continue to implement the 2018-2021 NSWOCC Strategic Plan with the following priorities:

1. Strengthen Membership: Create, implement and sustain a growing membership organization. 2. Demonstrate Value to all NSWOC/Associate Members: Through new programs and initiatives that build on strengths & respond

to members & patients.

6

3. Establish a Clear Identity: Through recognition and understanding and rebranding of the association name to Nurses Specialized in Wound, Ostomy and Continence Canada (NSWOCC).

4. National and International Recognition for Academic Excellence in wound, ostomy and continence education through the reorganization of the Wound, Ostomy and Continence Institute and redevelopment of the programs to meet the needs of NSWOC and allied healthcare professionals.

5. Governance, Planning and Decision-Making: Achieve measurable improvement in NSWOC members’ level of trust in how the NSWOCC is governed and managed, apply a sustainability lens to decision-making, and create a clear governance model.

6. Outcomes Research Platform: Complete outcomes research in ostomy to support advocacy efforts. 7. Financial Responsibility: Be financially responsible to NSWOCC members by practicing prudent fiscal management of existing

resources, and by making sound long-term choices that allow core programs and services to be sustainable now and into the future.

8. Build Leadership Capacity: Pursuing organizational excellence through academic and governance processes and collaborative partnerships.

9. Advocate for & Represent the Interests of NSWOC by building collaborative partnerships strengthening visibility & credibility. 10. Develop a Technology Infrastructure to support core program activities, communications/social media and improve efficiencies. 11. Contractor Engagement: Integrate and align human resource strategies with the NSWOCC’s strategic planning process and

build a satisfied and committed contracted staff that will be a solid foundation for the coming decade.

Please find the following 2018-2021 strategic priorities for the Wound, Ostomy and Continence Institute:

1. Build capacity of the WOC Institute – WOC-EP Program in order to meet the demands of the Canadian Healthcare system. 2. Raise the standard for and differentiate NSWOC by increasing the number of writers of the CNA certification exam to 100 per year. 3. Redevelop the WOC-EP Program design to modernize and develop to a state of the art education program 4. Revise the competencies of nurses specialized in wound, ostomy and continence management in collaboration with the Canadian

Nurses Association. 5. Re-brand the K2P programs and re-launch a continuing education program for aligned healthcare professionals in wound, ostomy,

continence and edema management 6. Re brand CAET Academy to WOC Institute to support the name change to Nurses Specialized in Wound Ostomy and Continence

Canada (NSWOCC). 7. Re-structure WOC Institute to strengthen educational and research offerings through the NSWOCC Conference and Research

access and interpretation. 8. Streamline the WOC Institute administrative process. 9. Develop the WOC Institute Preceptor program through the recruitment and retention of current preceptors. 10. Support excellence in the WOC Institute Faculty

7

11. Influence raising awareness of wound, ostomy and continence specialized nursing at the under graduate level through a partnership with the Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing (CASN).

12. Provide scholarships/financial awards to reward the achievements of WOC-EP students and to support academic excellence. 13. Develop and maintain a CNA certification prep course.

In 2018, project teams of members under the Core Programs and the WOC Institute worked to complete a number of key projects that will benefit all members including:

Enterocutaneous Fistula (ECF) / Enteroatmospheric Fistula (EAF) Nursing Best Practice Recommendations was completed and posted on the nswoc.ca website under the education tab for download.

The Indigenous Wound, Ostomy and Continence Health Core program was launched in June 2018 and an announcement came out in December 2018 that a policy change occurred naming NSWOC/WOCC(C) as recommenders of Wound, Ostomy and Continence supplies under Non-Insured Health Benefits.

Development of a position statement for Nurses Specialized in Wound Ostomy and Continence and a position statement for designation and credentials both of which are available on the website under “Name Change Tool Kit”

Implementation of a name change NSWOCC, WOC Institute and NSWOC. Led the launch of a National Best Practice Recommendations for Intermittent Catheterization Project with three aligned nursing

associations. Supported the Ontario reimbursement of off-loading devices. The second cohort of the professional Leadership Program for NSWOC Nurses graduated May 6/18. Continuing work on advocacy for Ostomy Reimbursement across Canada in conjunction with Ostomy Canada Society. Pre-operative Stoma Marking Project for Fecal Diversions was launched in January 2019. Launch of VOICE Campaign development – a marketing campaign to support positioning NSWOC for value due for launch June

2019. Participated in the development of bylaws for the International Skin Tear Advisory Panel. The WOC Institute launched a prep course for NSWOCs interested in writing the CNA WOCC(C) certification exam. NSWOC’s

are provided a self-paced guide which includes the NSWOC competencies, focused readings, exam writing tips and sample exam questions. A dedicated Facebook page has been established as a forum for NSWOCs to connect with other NSWOCs preparing for exam writing, develop study groups and ask questions. For more information visit nswoc.ca and log on to the “NSWOCC Members” area. Go to “View Available Downloads” and select “NSWOCC CNA Certification prep Course”.

In addition:

The Board of Directors continued to develop clear operational policies based upon the NSWOCC by-laws.

As a member of the National Advisory Committee of the Canadian Nurses Association Network of Nursing Specialties, and CPAC,

we continue to strengthen the number of NSWOC who have CNA certification (more than 160). The partnership with the Journal of Wound, Ostomy & Continence Nursing (JWOCN) continues to flourish with Lina Martins as the

Canadian Feature Editor and a new five year contract was signed. NSWOCC has continued a leadership role in the National Wound Strategy Committee under Wounds Canada. The NSWOCC completed the third year acting as the Host Secretariat to the International Skin Tear Advisory Panel (ISTAP)which

won the most Progressive Society at the World Union of Wound Healing meeting in 2017. A members only discussion forum was launched which can be accessed through the members Login

This campaign will be launched by June 1, 2019.

5.Community Engagement

1) Ostomy Advocacy

Participated in monthly Ostomy Advocacy teleconferences.

A. National Ostomy Reimbursement Initiative

There will be a two-pronged approach, nationally and provincially, in

advocating for Universal Funding for non-insured benefits for ostomy

supplies. Nationally, the plan is to establish contact with someone in

Health Canada. This would enable Ostomy Canada Society and Nurses

Specialized in Wound, Ostomy and Continence Canada (NSWOCC) to

more easily advocate for the establishment of a national ostomy

reimbursement program.

Provincially, the strategy to approach Provincial Governments is to

request that they reconsider their ostomy reimbursement programs. This

has been successful in Ontario, New Brunswick and Prince Edward

Island. The Advocacy Committee will continue to approach or revisit

25




Progress Report

Identify: Completed Date; Projected Completion Date; Ongoing Provincial Governments regarding their ostomy reimbursement

programs.

Ostomy Impact Study

An argument for universal funding for ostomy supplies will be supported

by data collected in the research project, Impact Study. The Impact

Study looked at the effects of limited financial resources for ostomy

supplies and no access to NSWOCs on the quality of life for those living

with an ostomy.

The Ostomy Impact study led by Dr Kim LeBlanc was completed and

submitted for publication with JWOCN. There is no publication date yet.

B. Disability Tax Credit Initiative

Met with the Canadian Revenue Agency to discuss improving better access for people living with an ostomy as well as having NSWOC as a creditor of DTC paper work. Next- contacted the Disability Tax credit committee to request that people living with an ostomy be put on their list of priorities. We were told that they would look at giving people living with an ostomy consideration but did not commit to a next step. This committee was contacted a second time in Jan 2019 and again- would not commit to any change. The Disability Tax Credit Task force (Ostomy Canada and NSWOC members) also developed a brochure to explain the DTC in both English and French. These brochures are available on the Ostomy Canada Society website and in hard copy from Ostomy Canada Society.

2) Ontario Off-Loading Reimbursement

The WOC-Institute, due to the high demand for NSWOCs and the large volume of quality applicants, doubled the enrollment into the English WOC-EP starting in September 2018. Our September 2018 and January 2019 Ostomy cohorts included 45 and 44 students respectfully. The French WOC-EP 2018-19 enrollment was at an all-time high with 16 students. With the growth of the WOC-EP came the need for more faculty. We are pleased to have welcomed Nicholas Joachimides as a WOC-EP Academic Advisor. After many years of providing dedicated education to our students Dorothy Phillips retired in January 2019 from the WOC-EP and will be greatly missed!

Contact with Dr. Kerlyn Carville and Prof Phil Della. Application made to the Pro Vice Chancellor of Curtin to explore the option.

Currently the proposal is with the Vice Provost,

The Australian government supports Australia citizens and residents

to some degree and thus there is a different fee structure

for international students. However, there is a Trans-Tasman

Government Agreement with New Zealand and they can undertake

studies at the same fee schedule. Dr. Carville will be pushing that

Curtin be flexible at least for a trial period of several years and offer

Canadians the same deal.

The plan would be that WOC-EP students undertake our course

which would be given Curtin University credit for recognized learning

program. Although the NURS5044 and NURS5045 Specialty

Practice Units 1 & 2 are listed in the course they have a partnership

agreement with the Australian Association of Stomal Therapy Nurses

(AASTN) for them to coordinate the 2 x 2 week clinical practice

modules (placements) each semester and these are given CRL. This

is the way to ensure good clinical experience with good preceptors.

The 4 units listed in the second year comprise the Post-Grad Diploma

units and the 3rd year the two 50 credit (double) units for Masters by

coursework. All the units are online. The plan would be to offer the

Chair of the WOC Institute an Assoc. Prof position and the Chair

would coordinate the Masters 2 units. The project preparation unit

prepares them for undertaking a project.

There would be no cost to NSWOCC or the WOC-Institute. Curtin would obtain their fees when/if students pursue a Master’s degree with the university. This also supports their mandate for International Collaborations.
