Course Information/Purpose
The purpose of this workshop is to educate nurses, OT, PT, wound care nurses and other healthcare professionals about the legal
aspects of wound care in today’s healthcare environment.
Lawsuits over pressure ulcers are increasingly common in both acute and long-term settings with judgments as high as $312
million in a single case. This four-hour workshop will discuss the legal aspects of wound care, preventive wound care measures,
and new legislation every wound care nurse should know. The workshop will cover topics that are pertinent not only to wound
care nurses but to all healthcare disciplines who care for patient populations who are at risk for pressure ulcers. In our rapidly
changing healthcare environment, staying up to date on current best practice and legal changes is important for all healthcare
workers. Objectives
Upon completion of the program the participant will be able to:
• Discuss legal implications of pressure ulcer prevention;
• Discuss current laws and recent updates; and
• Discuss impacts of regulatory changes on patient care and documentation.
