Fundación Ostomía for some time now, has been looking for the way to project and diversify its activities using the tools of the new communication technology.

Our clear and decisive vocation, of helping patients with needs and of supporting the Health Service Professionals who care for the ill, has compelled us to look for the procedures and technologies to make our activity possible in an equal way for everyone and efficient for Fundación Ostomía.

Our will and effort are oriented to guarantee the precision and scientific validity of the contents published in Fundación Ostomía's Website. We are conscious that potentially, many health professionals and even patients will use our reports to make decisions. For this reason, we assume our responsibility and we show all our interest and dedication to give the necessary support in order for the professionals and patients to make a decision with the lowest levels of known and possible incertitude.

Our main aim, which is to contribute with a better quality of life for ostomy patients, incontinence or those who suffer disabled chronic diseases, has its fundament in truthful information whose source comes from rigorous scientific research (ideally from clinical experiments). When this is not possible, Fundación Ostomía commits to explain to the potential users, the level of scientific robustness of this information supplied, in order to modulate, with honesty, the strength of the recommendation.

In our activity oriented towards the patients, our aim in the information supplied to the patients and/or relatives is to empower them, (information is power), to get the highest level of autonomy and effectiveness on their daily basic cares. This effort, to be useful for all, has to be followed by another additional effort, to simplify and make information understandable, without losing the important meaning in itself. Only in this way, will we get society to assume, in an appropriate and responsible way, the complementary cares of those who need it.

Fundación Ostomía is also committed with the professionals in health care services that look after patients with ostomy and incontinence. All the information that will be at your disposal will be selected through valid and relevant scientific criteria. This doesn't mean however, that in Fundación Ostomía's Website, which in true fact is your Website, there will not be any space for personal professional experience. Many will be the occasions when you will not be able to find information on certain subjects based on clinical research; so we will have to turn to the available information collect by personal experience. Nonetheless, it is important to keep in mind that, whenever possible, the information based on experience has to be contrasted with information from scientific research, so at later on it can be classified according to the levels of scientific evidence.

Our aim is not just to have a website; it is also to create and maintain an excellent website, and in our opinion, the excellence in the management and transmission of health information, has to be built on a scientific valid basis, agility and continuity with the new information added, as well as with the honesty and independence of the recommendations provided to the potentially interested people.
