Wound training hosted by the Great Plains Quality Network (A CMS Funded Quality Improvement Network) on properly assessing and identifying wounds for Section M of the MDS. This webinar is approximately 1 1/2 hours long.
Martha R. Kelso CEO of Wound Care Plus discusses how LTC facilities have a high rate of wounds and related infections compared to the general population. Martha will describe how the information from fluorescence imaging, when used in combination with clinical assessment, improves detection of wounds with an elevated bacterial burden. She will also describe how this additional information has transformed how her team of wound care consultants manages wounds in the LTC setting.
With new technology, the landscape can change with evidence and clinician adoption of this technology. Anticipating the ripple effect from a medical and legal implication can be invaluable for medical organizations. Join Martha R Kelso, Expert Witness, and Wound Consultant as she discusses potential future implications and how Wound Care Plus assimilated fluorescence imaging (MolecuLight i:X) into their wound care practice to reduce litigious events while creating a standard of care in LTC.
Approaches to wound care vary depending on the goals of the client along with their medical, physical, and nutritional barriers and mental health. Considering numerous factors play into wound healing, delay of wound healing, or wound decline, it is important to distinguish between the three main wound goals and recognize the inter-professional care path needed to achieve the most appropriate goal for each patient. Using our inter-professional panel of a registered dietitian, physical therapist, and registered nurse, we will explore the three main wound goals and discuss the collaborative “patient-centered” approach to reach each goal. This educational opportunity will explore three different client/patient scenarios and how these differences may alter their wound healing goals and the inter-professional care plan for either: 1. Complete wound healing; 2. Maintenance goals; and 3. Palliative/Comfort goals.
In the world of Patient Driven Payment Model (PDPM), the rate adjustment trends down the longer the client is admitted to the Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF). The push to get clients healed faster using advanced modalities is more important now than ever before. This webinar will cover not only what you need to know but also resources for your PDPM success. The client with wounds has the potential to touch almost 20 categories in a PDPM payment model. Join us to discuss the payment model changes along with advanced modalities for wounds to give your client the best outcome at healing possible.
The Patient-Driven Payment Model (PDPM) started October 1, 2019. Many PDPM point categories focus on wound care and require an interprofessional approach to capture the maximum points allowed. Join us while wound expert, Martha R. Kelso, discusses how the bedside wound specialist is integral to PDPM.
Negative Pressure Wound Therapy is an advanced wound modality that has been around for centuries in some form or fashion, but has become more popular in the last few decades. Although not appropriate for all wound types, more and more technologies have emerged allowing Negative Pressure Wound Therapy to be utilized across the care continuum. This webinar will review clinical considerations and reimbursement strategies while also debunking several popular myths about integrating this modality into a wound practice.

In today’s episode, listen as Martha Kelso talks about Moleculight. An imaging device that is a portable, non-invasive, real-time camera used to visualize the bacterial load in a wound.
As the percentage of our population over age 65 increases, infectious diseases among the elderly are becoming a serious public health concern. But why? Join us in this episode as Martha Kelso explains more about why infections are so prevalent among seniors and the elderly.

34.2 million Americans have diabetes, and 88 million people in the United States have prediabetes. Diabetes often goes unrecognized, and people can live and have diabetes with little to no symptoms. When someone’s vision or kidneys fail, that’s when people finally understand that they have the condition. Martha Kelso, founder and CEO of Wound Care Plus, LLC., jumps into how diabetes can affect wounds. Amputation is fifteen to forty times greater for people with diabetes. Plus, people who have diabetes often end up with strokes, heart attacks, and other significant issues. Tune in as we talk about the importance of glycemic control, the foods to avoid, and different ways seniors can positively adjust their lifestyles.
1. Are bedsores and pressure ulcers considered wounds?
2. Is it accurate to say that bedsores and pressure ulcers are mostly caused by actual pressure from sitting in one position for too long?
3. What type of wounds would you say are most common in the senior and elderly community?
4. Martha, are you saying that there is a misdiagnosis that is happening where the medical professionals or long-term care settings are actually not properly diagnosing these wounds and they actually are cancer?
All bedsores are pressure ulcers, but not all pressure ulcers are bedsores. Changes in long-term care settings, including eliminating the use of restraints. Many facilities don’t check to see if existing medications could be eliminated or replaced. Many nurses and even doctors aren’t trained on wound care. Wounds are often a barometer of health, a person with other health issues is more likely to get bedsores. A wound may not appear for 3-10 days depending on the patient's history. Don’t feel guilty for asking questions about a wound found on your loved one.
