Topic: Wound Assessment 101
(Free Webinar)
Speaker: Karen Bauer, DNP, APRN-FNP, CWS
Contact Hour(s): 1.0
Target Audience: Nurses, physical therapists, dietitians, and other healthcare professionals interested in wound care.
Disclosure: Karen Bauer, DNP, APRN-FNP, CWS, FAAWC, MAPWCA, faculty for this educational event, disclosed that she is a consultant for Urgo Medical. All the relevant financial relationships listed for Dr. Bauer have been mitigated.
Description:
This session is designed to cover and review some of the basic principles of wound management as well as some advanced concepts related to the field of wound management. Given the complex clinical and highly regulatory nature surrounding wound management, it is crucial for wound clinicians to adopt standardized language and classification systems to determine and adequately communicate wound related treatment plans. It must be taken into consideration that a wound or a skin ulcer is affected by nearly every bodily system, and therefore proper identification and thorough and accurate assessment is necessary. High quality wound management begins and ends with great recognition, diagnosis, evaluation, and documentation of the wound itself and the patient that it is affecting.This session is designed to cover and review some of the basic principles of wound management as well as some advanced concepts related to the field of wound management.

Since a global panel of wound care experts published the first consensus document on Wound Hygiene in March 2020, there has been a flurry of activity in support of this recently established concept in proactive wound healing.
The consensus has been bolstered by educational webinars, competency-based skills training, development of international Wound Hygiene ambassadors, and a survey of 1478 respondents published in July 2021. In addition, a global case study supplement was published in January 2022 that features a range of wound types and underlying conditions and demonstrates the improvements in wound-healing progress that can be achieved when practicing this simple four-step protocol of care. Wound Hygiene has gained its own identity and it is now an antibiofilm approach that is increasingly used in wound care all over the world.
This session will provide insights and tools to make a difference in your wound care practice. A capabilities framework will be introduced to support your professional development. Clinical outcomes and the impact of Wound Hygiene will be discussed.
Learning Objectives:
At the completion of this course, learners will be able to:
- To convey an update of activities since launch and introduce a proactive wound healing framework.
- To introduce a capability framework.
- To illustrate Wound Hygiene in practice and the impact on patient outcomes from a health care provider perspective.
