An in-house acquired or declining pressure ulcer puts providers at risk for regulatory citations and litigation. The burden on the provider is to demonstrate that the development or decline of a pressure ulcer was unavoidable. This session will assist in ensuring your pressure ulcer program reduces regulatory or litigation risk.
Objectives:
- Review common assessment and documentation errors that put facilities at risk for litigation or regulatory citations
- Demonstrate how to effectively utilize the wound care nurse to manage and oversee the program to minimize risk
- Identify current F686 regulatory guidance to ensure your program meets minimum standards
