PRESSURE ULCER PREVENTION What caring people need to know!
New Medicare reimbursement rules are now in effect for facility-acquired pressure ulcers. With a heightened focus on prevention, hospital educators can use this new, 19-minute training video for CNAs, nurses & family members to explain the causes and prevention of pressure ulcers.
I just previewed the Pressure Ulcer Prevention 2nd Edition DVD and I was very impressed! It provides current and pertinent information for health care providers. It uses great visuals and explains how pressure ulcers develop in very simple concepts that are easily understood. I liked how the video emphasizes the fact that the skin needs to be inspected regularly for changes and to initiate action when changes are noted. Also the frequent repositioning is well explained. Thank you for this great teaching tool as it covers many of the points that I as an educator would want my staff to know.
