Trouble selecting a dressing for your wound? Allow the Guru to guide you!

Managing patients

Managing patients with wounds can often be a daunting task.

You have so many variables to manage; they can seem impossible to control. Wound care is one of the fastest growing areas in the geriatric population and, “more than a third of home health care patients.”

“Impaired wound healing in the elderly represents a major clinical problem that is growing as our population ages.” Wounds, “can take up to 50 percent of care resources provided” by home health agenices.

Qualified Clinicians

Are your clinicians well-prepared and educated in wound care? Do they understand the characteristics of the hundreds of different wound care products and are they using them correctly?

Science of Wound Care

Are your clinicians knowledgeable in the science of wound management? Do they utilize costly antimicrobials appropriately and based on the research?

Product Expert

Expensive dressings are not always needed, but when they are you should be getting your money’s worth with extended change frequencies. Can your clinicians manage your patients’ wound care supplies effectively and manage the agency’s dollars at the same time?

Resource

Does your facility have a resource that can assist with any and every wound issue imaginable? The Wound Guru membership comes with a special feature where you can simply click “Ask The Guru,” and have your wound care related questions answered within 24 hours.

Choosing the best dressing

Choosing the best dressing to treat a wound can be a daunting task.

You have so many variables to manage in wound care, they can make you feel out to control. When do you add moisture and when do you need to dry it out? What is the best way to treat an infected wound? How long should I use silver or antimicrobial products? The Wound Guru can assist you in a step-by-step process to understand these questions and more.

Adequate wound management still requires clinical judgement by the user and an understanding of dressing indications along with the needs of the patient. Remember that wounds do not heal by good or special dressings alone. You must establish good holistic practices for the best clinical outcomes. Take your time with each patient and complete a whole-body assessment prior to selecting a treatment plan.
