Wound Care

Wound Care Certification Series

As a large percentage of our population ages and comorbidities such as diabetes and cardiovascular complications increase, it is logical to estimate that the number of chronic wounds will continue to accelerate. Therefore, knowledge and implementation of evidence-based wound care are critical to improving the outcomes for this population. Not only is it vital to provide the best quality of care for the patient, but it is also critical for reimbursement from Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance companies.

What this certification series will address:

This certification will provide you with the knowledge base and tools to provide advanced, up-to-date wound assessment and treatment. It will equip you with clinical skills important for the wound care professional in multiple environments. In addition to improving your knowledge base for clinical wound care and efficient treatment strategies, you will also be able to identify different types of compression wraps, advanced wound dressings, and the importance of the Arterial Brachial Index (ABI). This certification will also help guide you in the identification of wound etiologies, tissue composition, debridement techniques, and practical strategies for implementation in the clinical setting. Participants will learn how to incorporate evidence-based assessments into a plan of care and establish appropriate and measurable goals to track the progression of wounds, as well as the prevention of new wounds.
