"The New Paradigm Shift For Edema And Wound Management; The Gold Standard In Effective Lymphedema Treatment And How To Incorporate These Principles To Optimize Patient Outcomes And Maximize Profitability In Your Practice!"
ILWTI has partnered with Rich Dubin to create an exciting collaboration to host the LerExpo Online Healthcare Conference! A day of engaging with industry leading medical experts in edema, wound care and clinical practice! Discuss the latest in patient care, techniques for better patient outcome and the latest in optimizing billing and coding for your clinic.
Join us as we take a deep dive into the medical management of edema as related to wound care. Learn about the paradigm shift in edema management to expedite the wound healing process and prevent further wounds. We will explore the management of wounds related to phlebolymphema and the diabetic foot. We will review the medical management of edema with the use of therapeutic compression by identifying when to use compression, types/grades of compression, and how to best don and doff these garments. Last but not least, we will review how to optimize coding and billing for edema and wound care management services for increased profitability.
Licensed medical professionals who treat patients with edema, lymphedema, and/or chronic wounds will benefit most from this activity. This course is useful and pertinent for geriatric health care, home health care, short-term and long-term care, treatment in wound or lymphedema centers, rehab departments or hospitals, and other applicable practice settings.
Best suited for licensed Medical Professionalsa, Doctors, Nurses, Physical & Occupational Therapists and Assistants who manage patients with lower exremity co-morbitities, including diabetes, venous insufficiency, wound healing issues, edema/lymphedema and integumentary impairments.
