Skin Failure at WoundCon 2020

I am thrilled to be presenting on SKIN FAILURE at WoundCon, the first of its kind ONLINE Virtual Wound Care Conference and Expo. Brought to you by the publishers of WoundSource®,  this full-day virtual conference will include a series of CME/CE sessions focused on skills to improve clinical competency in managing acute and chronic wounds across the health care continuum. My session is entitled SKIN FAILURE: The Case for a Unified Classification System. My presentation will accomplish the following objectives: Review the concept of skin failure in its historical context Review factors in today’s health care system that compel us to adopt the concept of skin failure Review how terminal ulcer terminology and unavoidable pressure injuries fit into this concept Suggest a path for the future Distinguished co-speakers include Mary Brennan, Karen Lou Kennedy-Evans, and Diane Krasner.  I owe a big THANK YOU to WoundSource® for inviting me to present on this important topic!
