Webinar Description: Improper or inadequate wound care has the potential to cause significant pain and suffering for residents and patients. In addition, infection is the most common consequence of poor wound care practice. A localized wound infection can progress to sepsis and sometimes lead to transmission of organisms, particularly in long term care settings. How does your practice or your facility address the treatment of wounds and the potential for infection that improper wound care may bring? Join us for a review of current infection prevention and control recommendations, evidence-based practice updates, and discussion that can help you transform your practice and improve your facility's wound care policies.
