I am getting so many questions regarding wound care and the new OASIS C.  For those of you who do not work in home care, it is a pivotal piece of work that is used to determine reimbursement, as well as to track outcomes.  I actually am excited about the document.  I think that it can actually dovetail into developing a wound care plan.  It also emphasizes pressure ulcer prevention, something that many home care agencies fall short of providing.

Anyway, I have two things that might help you to prepare for the changes.  First, I am doing an audio conference on January 21 on the topic of "Wound Care and OASIS C."  I am giving you the link to the information about the one hour event.  If you register, use the coupon code provided to receive a discount.  The link is:  http://goto.mynursingaudio.com/go/9070 and the coupon code is: "BRADLEY"
The second thing that all of you need to be getting your hands on is the new NPUAP International Pressure Ulcer Prevention and Treatment Guidelines.  You will have to purchase these, they are available at www.npuap.org.  I believe that these will become standards of care for every care setting.

Thanks to those of you who are subscribers, your feedback indicates that our online course impacts your practice in very practical ways.  I enjoy getting your emailed success stories and questions.  Keep it up!!    Beth
