Prepare to Assess and Treat Wounds in the Home with New On-demand Course |
|
Meet Sophia, a typical home-based primary care patient
- 86-year-old female diagnosed with dementia six years ago.
- Lives with her daughter who is her primary caregiver.
- Recently hospitalized for cellulitis and decompensated heart failure.
- Her daughter calls your practice to inform you of her recent discharge to home and reports a wound on her buttocks, although her mother reports no pain.
- Patients like Sophia are more susceptible to complications from wounds and often must endure a prolonged healing process.
- Sophia’s wound will also likely compound the burden on her already overwhelmed daughter.

|
Now, the important question.
Are you and your practice prepared to evaluate and treat Sophia’s wound?

If not, or if you’d like a refresher, HCCI now offers a Wound Management for HBPC Providers online course (0.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™). Chronic wounds can be a challenge for HBPC patients and providers and can result in increased hospital admissions, lengths of stay, and higher healthcare costs. Unfortunately, many HBPC practices do not have clinicians trained to assess and treat chronic and acute wounds, which limits their ability to provide high-quality, value-based care for medically-complex, home-limited patients. In this on-demand course, you will learn essential strategies to help you determine the etiology of a wound, document it accurately, and initiate a comprehensive plan of care that is consistent with the patient’s goals.

Our friends at The Johns Hopkins Hospital have been asked to develop a new edition of the 2016 text, Geriatric Home-Based Medical Care. To best understand what content to include, they have asked that HCCI reach out to ask for your suggestions. Please take 2-3 minutes to share your thoughts here. Your input may then become part of this important book for the field.

Let’s Do Lunch
Wednesday, May 19, 2021
12:00-1:00pm Central Time
COVID-19 and Home-Based Care:
What Have We Learned?
The world has changed significantly since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, but what have we learned to date about Home-Based Care and its role going forward? How will we need to further adapt to be ready for the next crisis? How can we continue to make the “invisible homebound” visible?
In this lunchtime discussion, your colleagues and leaders in the field will be examining the renewed interest in technology that extends care into the home, the psychosocial challenges and isolation still impacting our patients, ongoing stressors on clinicians and team members, and the need to identify homebound patients in future times of crises.
Click here to register and join us for a moderated discussion. You can submit your questions to the panel at the time of registration or during the live event.
