After years of research and analysis, the Comprehensive Policies and Procedures for Skin and Wound Care in Long Term Care, is the first complete resource for facilities caring for residents/patients with skin and wound care concerns.

“This comprehensive manual will assist the facility to meet their compliance goals by providing the framework for careplanning standards, classification standards, compliance standards, documentation standards, dressing, drug and device management, formulary management, quick reference for interpretive guidelines, understanding the FTags 309, 314, 315 and 501, and more” says Lucinda Rook, Coding and Documentation Analyst and Compliance Expert for Wound Care Strategies.
“Effective skin and wound management is built upon a series of clinical and operational processes,” says the manual’s author, Cathy Thomas Hess. “Clinically, the health care professional must understand the cellular and biomechanical actions that occur immediately upon injury and thereafter.
