Program Description: Wound care, in general, continues to be an area of concern with most agencies when it comes to
assessment and documentation. Many clinicians and staff that audit charts struggle with the different types of wounds, what needs to be documented, and how to
document findings to paint a picture of what is happening with that wound. Any clinician who performs wound care or any staff member that is responsible to
review wound documentation should view this program. The presenter takes a practical look at wounds and best practices for assessment and documentation of wounds
and talks about the different types of wounds, the required physician documentation, methods and frequency of measurements, and
documentation elements that should be included. She also discusses ways the agency can ensure consistent documentation and what resources need to be provided to clinicians to ensure they are successful.
