Chronic wounds are a challenge, both for the patients experiencing them and the clinicians who treat them. The challenge of managing wound exudate and achieving rapid wound closure, while minimizing cost drivers such as frequent treatment visits and dressing changes, can overwhelm patients and their treatment teams. By utilizing an In, On and Around the wound approach, we can simplify wound care, improve healing rates, and provide better outcomes for clinicians and patients.
Dr. Gonzalez and Dr. Johnson will share their clinical experience in treating lower extremity ulcers in both an outpatient clinic and the home care setting. They will each present a variety of challenging patient cases utilizing Hartmann’s innovative and effective protocol.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify common challenges in treating lower extremity ulcers
- Review patient cases utilizing an innovative, yet simple, wound protocol
- Discuss impact of this protocol on healing rates and outcomes.
