M1630 has a two-part intent. What does Part 2 assess?

Part 2 of M1630 focuses on determining whether the ostomy is either temporary or permanent, as well as assessing if the presence of the ostomy has resulted in any changes to the patient's medical treatment plans. This dual assessment is crucial for understanding the ongoing care needs of patients with stomas.

Understanding the type of ostomy—whether it is temporary or permanent—can help guide healthcare providers in planning the appropriate level of care and follow-up. Additionally, identifying any changes in medical treatment plans due to the ostomy is vital for ensuring that all aspects of a patient's care are coordinated effectively. Recognizing both elements ensures a comprehensive view of the patient's health status and informs future care strategies.
