Wounds can be overwhelming to a practitioner who is not familiar with assessment and principles of healing. This course is designed for healthcare practitioners who encounter wounds from injury, surgery, or trauma throughout the continuum of a patient's care (inpatient, outpatient, or home care) and will cover in-depth wound assessment, healing expectations and principles to guide managing the wound, and identification of infection. These key areas will give the practitioner an exact method of assessment, including terms for documentation and communication with team members, that sets the stage for proper treatment and principles to guide decision-making and problem-solving through challenging scenarios to promote healing toward the ultimate goal of wound closure.

Wound debridement, negative-pressure wound therapy, dressings, and coverage selection are vital to understand for the practitioner who is treating a patient who may present with a wound. This course is designed for healthcare practitioners who encounter wounds from injury, surgery, or trauma throughout the continuum of a patient's care (inpatient, outpatient, or home care) and will cover in-depth methods of debridement for removal of devitalized tissue, negative-pressure wound therapy methods, wound coverage options by category for a progressive approach based on wound bed characteristics, and a systematic approach to selecting wound coverage options for best practice. Armed with this knowledge, a practitioner will be better able to problem-solve through simple and challenging wounds to offer the patient the best options for wound treatment to promote closure.
