Utah & Texas Regional Wound Seminars - 2019

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.

Objectives:
At the end of this program participants will be able to:

• Recognize the most common chronic wound etiologies including pressure injuries/ulcers
• Discuss pressure ulcer prevention strategies using a systems approach
• Identify MDS reporting mandates using Section M Coding instructions for reporting wound etiologies including pressure ulcer/injuries and other common wound etiologies
• Describe current treatment interventions for chronic wounds including: debridement, topical therapies, and biophysical agents (e.g. NPWT, E-Stim)
• List resources to assist in framing your wound prevention and management program

 
Content Includes:

• Review of most the common wound etiologies
• Pressure ulcer prevention program process design
• MDS Section M Reporting mandate including detailed descriptions and coding tips for staging and documentation
• Prevention and treatment interventions that meet practice standards and regulatory mandates
• Review of core resources for framing a functional wound prevention and management program.
