MDS 3.0 requires even more clinical expertise to fill out accurately and completely the new and expanded Section M. The facility treatment nurses MUST be adequately trained in the above techniques and documentation in order to be successful, both with MDS 3.0 and OBRA F314. This all-day seminar will not only cover how to accurately assess the resident and the wound, but also topical wound therapy, dressings, infection control, review of the regulations and documentation for MDS 3.0. In addition to a detailed and measured assessment of the resident and the wound, treatment nurses must know which treatment and dressing classification is appropriate for proper healing. Nurses attending this seminar will come away prepared to meet the challenges of wound therapy. Wednesday, January 19, 2011 Thursday, January 20, 2011 Click here to view the complete brochure
