Program Description
This program is designed for Legal Nurse Consultants.
Keywords: wound care, chronic wound, negative pressure wound therapy, interprofessional wound care
Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) includes an increasing number of devices to stimulate wound healing by reducing swelling and drainage and creating a local environment that enhances healing. NPWT is a widely accepted modality by the international wound care community. Use – and misuse – of NPWT is on the rise. Internationally known nursing expert witness Dr. Diane Krasner shares her expertise in this multimedia program. There are standards of care that must be adhered to if adverse outcomes are to be avoided. Clinicians and legal professionals must be aware of the potential problems and devastating complications related to caring for complex wounds with NPWT. Facility guidelines that do not meet the standard of care for complex wound care with NPWT leave the facility open to adverse events and possible litigation. A team approach is essential to optimize outcomes when NPWT is utilized.
