From the Kitchen to the Courtroom: Nutrition, Wounds, and the Standard of Care | Orgain Healthcare Professional Education Series
The United States is one of the most litigious nations, resulting in numerous medical malpractice lawsuits against healthcare providers, acute care hospitals, and post-acute care facilities. Often these lawsuits allege that the provider and/or the facility failed to prevent or manage wounds and failed to provide adequate nutritional intervention to support wound healing. Optimal nutritional care for wounds requires knowledge of how the body builds new tissue and which macro- and micronutrients are involved. This webinar will review the latest wound-specific nutritional science, the current standard of care, medical record documentation, and real-world strategies to minimize the risks of practice.
