Course Overview
Recent changes in Medicare policies that limit reimbursements for Hospital-Acquired Conditions (HACs) in acute care hospitals and healthcare facilities have enhanced the need for proper education and training for healthcare providers. Stage III and Stage IV pressure ulcers have been added to the list of Preventable Hospital-Acquired Conditions no longer being reimbursed. Proper Wound Care management and application of evidence-based guidelines is essential to promote patient health and help protect facilities and healthcare professionals from costly claims and litigation. First Healthcare Wound Care Update class provides healthcare professionals with the knowledge to identify prevent and treat pressure ulcers using the most recent standards of care.
