Our wound care nurses assist in wound rounds transferring and positioning the residents and changing dressings to enable proper evaluation of the area. The nurses improve wound round dynamics making care more productive for us and the facility staff involved in wound care. Moreover, these nurses have many years of wound care experience which makes their clinical input during wound rounds invaluable.

Our wound care nurses utilize their expertise to teach the facility nursing staff on proper wound treatment to be implemented outside of wound rounds. This extends beyond topical wound care to include proper patient positioning, compression therapy, and monitoring complications such as infections.

Our wound care nurses also document wound care in the nursing facility medical records and maintain a wound log for the nursing facility. Our nurses review SBAR, MDS, and other assessments to ensure proper documentation. This is pivot for state-surveys as well as upholding CMS and Joint Commission guidelines.
