Course Features
An Evidence Based E-learning course is the first part of a two part series on wound care.
Wound management is a multi-factorial, holistic and interdisciplinary approach to wound closure versus “wound care” which is simply to local topical care of the wound itself by a wound specialist.Very often in the wound management setting the team is multidisciplinary but not interdisciplinary. The latter is a team that is collaborative and unified in its focus; that focus should always be patient centered. Each member of the interdisciplinary team sees the patient and their disease process through the filter of their respective discipline. In this lies the strength of the team.
Effective wound management requires that the likely etiology of the ulcer is determined. Treatment is directed at rectifying that disease process since the chronic wound is most often a symptom of an underlying pathology. If the actual cause or major predisposing factor, such as protein energy malnutrition or pressure, is not determined and addressed the wound will more than likely fail to close or remain at high risk for recurrence.
This e-learning course will focus on developing an understanding of wounds such that the basis for successful treatment plans can be determined. This e-learning course is the first part of a series of e-learning focused on wound care.
