Pressure Ulcers to Be Or Not to Be: F314 & MDS 3.0
September 1, 2010
8:30am - 4:30pm
Drury Inn & Suites Hotel, West Des Moines
Long term care facilities are charged with compliance of the Center for Medicare & Medicaid regulatory guidelines and the most current clinical
standards of practice for the management of pressure ulcers. This educational program has been developed to assist the clinician in understanding
the clinical aspects of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services guidance regarding pressure ulcers and the F314 Tag. The guideline revision
greatly expands the need for comprehensive documentation and aggressive pressure reduction measures. Teaching material is based upon
these guidelines/standards and will review the changes in clinical practice of pressure ulcers management and the survey investigational process. The
goal is to improve communication and understanding concerning pressure ulcer prevention, management for residents with an ulcer and reducing
the occurrence of pressure ulcers in the long term care setting. A review of the MDS 3.0 definitions, etc. will also be included.
