Getting outcomes in wound care requires putting an array of puzzle pieces together. This course will show participants how those pieces fit together. Seeing the full picture will help the therapist’s clinical understanding of causes, assessments, treatments and prevention. This course will focus on the underlying factors that increase the risk for wounds so a more effective interdisciplinary team can prevent or help with the successful healing of the many different types of wounds. Common problems associated in wound care such as staff education and obtaining the necessary items needed to assist with positive outcomes will be presented. The course will review common misconceptions and mistakes when classifying wound types and staging pressure ulcers. For individuals with diabetes, neuropathy and its consequences will be presented. Participants will leave this course with knowledge to help bring healing and relief to their patients.
