0479_SHSO_Wound Care Education Day_Live
Description:
Proper wound care assessment, diagnosis, and treatment is an essential skill for many healthcare professionals. Each year Sutter patients experience hospital acquired pressure injuries, worsening wounds, and nosocomial wounds. These metrics are due to a variety of factors, one being that there is not enough education provided around how to prevent and treat these wounds. Accurate wound care upholds Sutters's commitment to care excellence and is supported by evidence-based practice. This event will utilize a combination of adult learning methodologies, including presentations, hands-on activities, and demonstrations to present educational content. Learners will move through several stations with each station focusing on a different aspect of wound care. Learners will review and practice the following skills: Categorization and Documentation (Descriptors, Monk Skin Tone Scale & Braden), Dressing & Wound Cleansing Techniques, Wound Vac, Ostomy Care, and Wound Care Products.
Target Audience
Nurse Practitioner (NP)
Nurse, Registered (RN)
Physical Therapist
