Non-transitory computer-readable storage media encoded with a computer program including instructions executable by a processor to create an interactive ostomy treatment guide comprising:

• a. a software module configured to receive ostomy assessment information, the assessment information comprising one or more of:
• condition of skin adjacent an ostomy, topographical location of any peristomal lesion, stoma type, pouching surface type, stoma devices present, and stoma complications;
• b. a software module configured to apply a treatment algorithm to the ostomy assessment information to generate an output;
• and
• c. a software module configured to display one or more ostomy care management options based on the output.

A method of administering an ostomy device or product to an individual in need thereof, the method comprising:

• a. assessing one or more of:
• skin adjacent an ostomy, topographical location of any peristomal lesion, stoma type, pouching surface, stoma devices present, and stoma complications;
• b. applying an algorithm to each assessment, the algorithm providing ostomy care guidance comprising one or more of:
• at least one ostomy management option, a consideration, at least one device recommendation, at least one product recommendation, an instruction, a treatment, and a caution;
• and
• c. administering an ostomy care device or product to the individual based on each ostomy care guidance.
