Beyond the surface: Where clinical care meets quality reporting

Presented by 

Kathleen Vollman MSN, RN, CCNS, FCCM, FCNS, FAAN and Tanya Martel DNP, FNP-BC, CWOCN

Pressure injuries can have a significant impact on patient outcomes, documentation and quality reporting. Join experts Kathleen Vollman and Tanya Martel for a discussion exploring common challenges clinicians face with pressure injury surveillance, assessment, documentation and CMS reporting considerations. Through realistic patient scenarios, they'll discuss how clinical findings, documentation practices and reporting decisions influence quality outcomes and organizational measures.

Objectives:

• Describe the role of surveillance, documentation, and pressure injury classification in accurate quality reporting and CMS measures.
  
• Differentiate between pressure injuries that are present on admission and those acquired during hospitalization using clinical assessment and documentation principles.
  
• Apply best practices for pressure injury reporting, interdisciplinary communication and organizational decisionmaking through realworld case scenarios.
