Navigating the Venous Leg UlcerChronic venous insufficiency (CVI) often creates significant edema of the lower legs which can lead to skin breakdown and the creation of venous leg ulcers (VLUs). VLUs account for approximately 80% of chronic lower extremity wounds. Wounds from CVI affect a large and growing number of individuals, particularly older adults. The long-term care, sub-acute setting has a significant number of residents/patients with VLUs needing health care professionals who have the knowledge and skills to improve residents’/patients’ outcomes for healing. This program will review the best practice guidelines for assessment and treatment for CVI and the resulting VLUs.
|
|
Objectives:
- List common issues that can lead to chronic venous insufficiency and wounds.
- Identify assessment considerations for venous leg ulcers.
- Verbalize treatment interventions that meet, or do not meet, best practice.

Poem dedicated to all skilled nursing facilitiesAuthored by our team member, Ashley Murphy, BSN, RN - A Fly On The Wall is a poem dedicated to all the skilled nursing facilities during the National Nurses Week. Based out of the Memphis, TN Ashley works as our Clinical Specialist and serves long-term care facilities in the Greater Memphis area.  |  |
The nurses, doctors, EMTs, lab techs, and other health care workers battling the COVID-19 crisis on the front lines and behind the scenes are the real-life heroes. We appreciate their dedication and hard work to care for us and keep us safe. WE THANK YOU.
 | McKnight’s published on 4/6/20 “NIC report: Half of SNFs reported declines in occupancy rates and deceleration in move-in rates last month.” As a clinician and a part of the healthcare arena serving the long-term care population for over twenty-five years, this topic started a discussion with our peers: when will we see census come back? Here are some questions that we pose to the community: |
- Will there be an influx of people who have been on ventilators, are now recovering and will need skilled care?
- Will there be an influx of people who are recovering from COVID that need skilled care?
- Are SNF’s adapting to serve the changing population, for example set up COVID wings?
- In states that are not seeing high numbers of COVID cases, will these states initiate elective surgeries earlier, if so when?
- In states that are seeing higher volumes of COVID cases, what has there been any discussion as to when elective surgeries will be resumed?
- Prior to COVID, what percentage of elective surgeries resulted in skilled stays for rehabilitation services? In the future, do we anticipate this to be the same, or decrease?
- Are you experiencing staffing shortages due to the coronavirus in your facilities? If so, what mitigation steps have you put into place in an effort to prevent pressure injuries?
Our healthcare world has certainly changed. Partnership, community and collaboration are imperative as we navigate these new waters together. I look forward to hearing your replies!

Hit Your Pressure Ulcer/Injury Prevention and Wound Management Targets:
Ensuring Reimbursement, Clinical and Regulatory Compliance
*** This Event Has Been Canceled ***
Due to the evolving situation with the novel Coronavirus, we are at an unprecedented time that is requiring unprecedented responses in order to protect our residents and our peers. Due to the restrictions and social distancing expectations we are cancelling this educational event.
SEMINAR DESCRIPTION
Long-term care buildings are having to admit sicker, frailer individuals than ever before in the 60-year history of this industry. The increased level of ill-health in our population with multiple comorbidities means our residents and patients are at greater risk for pressure ulcer/injuries (PU/PI) than in years past. Due to the higher acuity of facility admissions your clinical team needs to determine: “Is this resident’s wound actually due to pressure, or is it a Kennedy Terminal Ulcer a.k.a. Skin Failure” due to the multiorgan failure and the dying process?
This seminar will review business, clinical and regulatory components for prevention, treatments and reporting of skin issues with a focus on PU/PI prevention. The importance of staging for documentation and coding on the MDS for appropriate PDPM reimbursement will be reviewed. In addition, there will be focused content on the Root Cause Analysis (RCA) process, the construct CMS recommends buildings use as part of the QAPI process for the internal investigation of facility acquired PU/PIs. This RCA process will assist facilities in identifying the KTU from the avoidable PU/PI and will find the gaps in your PU/PI prevention program. Join us for this information-packed seminar to improve the clinical, reimbursement, and regulatory aspects of your building’s/organization’s wound prevention and management programs.

UriCap - Innovative External Urine Collection Device Improves Quality of Care and Reduce Facility Costs
Irvine, CA, November 22, 2019 -- American Medical Technologies (AMT), the leading independent provider of wound care solutions for long-term care and post-acute environments, has partnered with TillaCare to introduce UriCap, an innovative external urine collection device for managing female urinary incontinence (UI) in the long-term care market across the United States.
UriCap is a non-invasive, leak-free, external urine collection device specifically designed to fit the female anatomy. It prevents contact between urine and skin, helps monitor urine quality and quantity, conceals the odor of urine, and keeps the patient dry. UriCap is covered under CMS Medicare Part B program and there is no cost to the facility. Additionally, as it is changed only once per day, UriCap helps the facility reduce various costs associated with staff time, incontinence products, labor, laundry, and waste removal.
“Traditionally facilities use adult briefs, bed pads, and indwelling catheters to address the challenges of female UI. However, adult briefs are prone to leakage, can cause skin irritation, and are labor intensive,” said Misty Vaughn, Senior Vice President of Clinical Programs for AMT. “Because of the high incidence of catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) and the resulting high rate of infection and hospital readmission, regulatory changes have mandated less frequent use of indwelling catheters for managing UI. In comparison, as an external urine collection device, UriCap provides a completely innovative and cost-effective solution.
Founded in 2013 by experts in medicine and technology from Sweden and Israel, TillaCare’s mission is to bring to market cutting edge urine collection for incontinent men & women that dramatically reduces health risks, costs, and increases comfort as well as preventing social isolation. Earlier in the year, AMT and TillaCare signed an exclusive distribution agreement to supply UriCap to the long-term care market across the US.
Founded in 1994, AMT is a leading senior care company that delivers comprehensive wound care, ostomy, urological, and tracheostomy programs along with specialized laboratory services to health care providers in the long-term care and post-acute environments. AMT is an accredited supplier of Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS) as well as a participating Medicare Part B provider. AMT serves over 6,250 facilities across all 50 states to facilitate the delivery of high-quality patient care.

Ready, Set, Go! Worldwide Pressure Injury Prevention & Awareness Day - Thursday, November 21, 2019
AMT is proud to support the National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel for its leading-edge efforts towards prevention and management of pressure injuries. In 2013, The National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel (NPIAP) formerly, the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP) designated the third Thursday of every November to internationally celebrate and promote education.
What Is Pressure Injury
A pressure injury is localized damage to the skin and underlying soft tissue usually over a bony prominence or related to a medical or other device. The injury can present as intact skin or an open ulcer and may be painful. The injury occurs as a result of intense and/or prolonged pressure or pressure in combination with shear. The tolerance of soft tissue for pressure and shear may also be affected by microclimate, nutrition, perfusion, co-morbidities and condition of the soft tissue. The full list of NPIAP pressure injury definition stages can be found here.
What We Know
Promoting a “prevention mindset” for you staff is key in preventing pressure injuries and reducing the financial burden caused by pressure injuries. The goal is to keep the Resident moving as much as possible increasing blood flow, while reducing shearing and friction forces. Consistent, good skin care is just as important. Keeping the skin clean, dry, and moisturized, while managing the microclimate will promote quality skin care management. The pressure injury prevention list can be found here.
Remove the Cause
Pressure Injuries can develop at any age, but more commonly it is the senior population that uses wheelchairs, is bedbound and wears medical devices and who, are therefore at highest risk. If a pressure injury does develop, you first want to identify the cause while using a holistic approach. You will want to investigate the cause from every angle. Until the cause of the pressure injury is removed, the pressure injury will not heal. Encourage your nursing staff to focus more on a prevention mindset while encompassing ongoing education.

Debridement: Who, When & How in Long-Term Care
Debridement is a fundamental component of wound management and a standard of practice. Preparing the wound bed for healing must be done adequately to facilitate the best outcomes and provide opportunities for closure and subsequent healing.
This program will discuss the: Who, When and How components of chronic wound debridement — specifically for the population residing in the long-term care setting. Content will include assessment prior to debridement (e.g., vascular studies to the lower extremity), types of debridement and precautions/contraindications of debridement. Attend this session to better recognize which wounds will benefit from debridement and how to best accomplish this in the long-term care setting.

Foundations for wound prevention & management according to the standards of practice and CMS regulations
Description
This program will address pressure ulcer prevention and management risks from the legal, clinical standards of practice, and regulatory perspectives, providing content that addresses a building’s Pressure Ulcer/Pressure Injury prevention program from a system’s perspective and as a component of the Quality Assessment and Performance Improvement (QAPI) process. In addition, content will include a thorough review of coding mandates and tips from Section M of the MDS. Correct coding of the MDS is a primary factor of the new PDPM system of reimbursement.
This program is basic to intermediate level, appropriate for the Nursing Directors, Treatment Nurses, interdisciplinary clinical leadership, MDS coordinators, and others responsible for ensuring clinical practice standards and regulatory mandates are in place for their buildings.

AMT collaborates with Medicare for educational webinar
AMT has partnered with Durable Medical Equipment Medicare Administrative Contractors (DME MACs), Noridian Healthcare Solutions and CGS Administrators, to host a live educational webinar covering Medicare’s documentation requirements for wound care residents.
Documentation is a critical component of resident care. To help ensure regulatory compliance regarding wound care provided, a facility should make sure their documentation meets or exceeds the requirements set forth by Medicare. This webinar is developed to help participants learn critical information that they can apply directly within their facilities.
Trina St. Ours - Education Consultant DME Outreach and Education with Noridian Healthcare Solutions along with Michael Hanna MPA, CDME - Provider Relations Senior Analyst with CGS Administrators will present their insights. This presentation will be focused on the long-term care facilities’ responsibilities in creating/maintaining the necessary documentation for reimbursement of surgical dressings and supplies. Emphasis and specific detail will be provided on preliminary orders, detailed written orders and the importance of thoroughly completed monthly/weekly evaluations.
Webinar registration is free and Continuing Education (CE) credits will be available for attendees of the live webinar. A recorded version of the presentation will also be provided for those unable to attend the live event.

Seminar Focus:
Wound Prevention and Management in the Post-Acute, Long-Term Care Setting: Meeting the Clinical and Regulatory Guidelines and Mandates
Providing wound prevention and management in the long-term, sub-acute care setting is challenging for many reasons including, but not limited to; the population (older and/or more acute than years past), the regulations, reimbursement constraints, and clinical knowledge challenges regarding this mammoth topic. For all these reasons, and more, wound care in the PAC/LTC is demanding for building management, leadership, and clinical and support staff.
This program will integrate clinical best practices with regulatory (survey) and reporting (MDS, Section M) mandates for wound prevention and care, providing the attendees with up to date information to assist clinical teams, building management and leadership with tools and direction for creating functional wound prevention and care programs. This course will support the PDPM and QAPI mandates by CMS related to skin integrity.

May 12th is also the birthday of Florence Nightingale, who is revered as the founder of modern nursing. During this week, AMT would like to extend a special thanks to nurses for their dedication and commitment to healthcare. Nurses deserve special recognition for their vast contributions and the positive impact they make in our communities. The National Nurses Week is a time for everyone – individuals, employers, other health care professionals, and community leaders – to recognize the vast contributions and positive impact of America’s 4 million nurses. So, please join us in thanking the amazing nurses! |  |
