Assessing Oxygenation Status in the Management of Lower Extremity Wounds – webinar

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD), the narrowing or blockage of the vessels carrying blood from the heart to the legs, can have detrimental effects on lower limb health, and can lead to critical limb ischemia, limb loss, and even death. Patients with poor arterial health can develop hard-to-heal ulcers as the blood pools in the lower extremity, causing localized swelling and ulceration.

Transcutaneous monitors that measure tissue oxygen can assist with determining the health of the limb and the ability for a lower extremity wound to heal, and can detect the presence of vascular disease. Understanding these values is vital as it will help the provider to guide clinical decisions in in the plan of care, whether it involve curative measures such as compression therapy or advanced wound care interventions such as negative pressure wound therapy or skin grafts, or palliative or amputation, depending on the patient’s goals. Transcutaneous oxygen measurement can be used to determine amputation level in non-healable wounds … register

In this webinar sponsored by Molecular Lab Partners, Joe Case, the CEO of Molecular Lab Partners, will discuss how they can help you bring Molecular Testing in-house with relative ease. Their turnkey process not only guides clinicians through the Physician Office Lab implementation process but also makes molecular testing fast and easy with Ready To Run, Custom Plated Assays In Convenient Break-Away Plates. Operating your own Physician Office Lab not only improves patient care with one-hour results on wound, nail fungus, and antibiotic resistance, but also provides you with a new revenue stream on testing you are already performing daily.

“I have to admit, I am always skeptical with consulting services related to in-office ancillary services. However, Molecular Lab Partners has definitely changed my mind! The entire POL implementation process, from the lab design and equipment procurement, to the hiring process of our Laboratory Director, Supervisor and Techs, has been seamless. I highly recommend the entire team at MLP.” ~ James Baldwin III, DPM … read more

Webinar: Documenting Drainage Quantity

Coverage of surgical dressings by third-party payers depends, in part, on the volume of drainage of the ulcer being treated. Providers who dispense surgical dressings and expect payment from a third-party payer must document the drainage quantity of the ulcer. This webinar will review this requirement, list the options for drainage documentation, and detail exactly how drainage documentation should be documented in the medical record.

At the end of Dr. Lehrman’s presentation stay for a Question & Answer session where he will answer any questions that you might have.

What You Will Learn:

  • List the keywords needed in documenting ulcer drainage when dispensing surgical dressings.
  • Define different terms used to document ulcer drainage quantity.
  • List the drainage volume requirements associated with commonly used surgical dressings.
