The Benefits of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) in Long-Term Care

Tuesday, September 17, 2024 | 2:00 - 3:00pm EST

No cost to participate!

There is a growing need for long-term care homes to manage residents that require high levels of support. According to the Continuing Care Reporting System data, 3 of 4 residents have complex medical needs, and have high care needs when entering long-term care. Therefore there is a need to equip our homes with the appropriate technology and tools to manage the evolving acuity of our residents. Utilizing NPWT in LTC homes can improve quality of life for residents, decrease wound healing times, and create cost efficiencies.

In this webinar we will discuss:

  • The potential benefits of NPWT in long-term care homes
  • Assessing the need for NPWT in your LTC homes
  • Implementing NPWT, assessment, and sustaining practice
