On Wednesday, October 24th I had the honor of delivering a webinar entitled Wound Care: Maximizing Quality While Controlling Costs, sponsored by The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine. The webinar will begin at 7:00 EST and last 1.5 hours. I will be giving Part 1 which will include the following didactic material:
• Importance of wound care in PA/LTC
• What’s new in the wound world?
• Regulatory update
• Types of wounds in PA/LTC
• Principles of wound management
• System considerations
• Risk Management considerations
My co-presenter is Dr. Scott Bolhack who will give Part 2, presenting case examples from his extensive files. Dr. Bolhack is Clinical Assistant Professor at the Department of Medicine, University of Arizona and President and CEO. There will be fifteen minutes at the end reserved for audience questions.
Webinar attendees are eligible for CME and CMD education credits. If you miss the live section, the webinar will be archived on the PA/LTC website. This webinar is FREE to members of the Society for PA/LTC. Non-member cost is $99.00.
