This webinar will be recorded live on September 18th, 2024 at 12:00PM CT. A recording of the webinar will be available within 24 hours of the live event.

In this webinar, Liz Faust, MSN, MBA, CRNP, CSWS, CWOCN-AP, and Carley Rusch PhD, RN, LDN will discuss their collaborative approach to implementing nutritional interventions utilizing the Standardized Pressure Injury Prevention Protocol Checklist (SPIPP-Adult) 2.0 in clinical practice. They’ll explore the connection between malnutrition, wound development, and healing. The presentation sheds light on how effective and timely collaboration enhances patient care to improve outcomes.

• Identify key nutritional interventions from the Standardized Pressure Injury Prevention Protocol Checklist (SPIPP- Adult) 2.0
• Describe how to translate these interventions into timely application of pressure injury risk assessment and execution of nutritional interventions 
• Demonstrate an understanding of the link between malnutrition, wound development, and wound healing
• Discuss the role of interdisciplinary collaboration in nutrition for patients at risk for pressure injuries 

This webinar will be recorded live on August 28th, 2024. A recording of the webinar will be available within 24 hours of the live event.

Bolster your facility's hospital-acquired pressure injury preventative methods and quality improvement plans through machine learning! Tune into NPIAP's August webinar for an engaging presentation led by Dr. William Padula on his findings regarding electronic health records (EHRs) and their ability to predict the risk of hospital-derived pressure injuries. Help your hospital conserve resources, decrease labor hours, prevent pressure injuries, and maintain positive patient outcomes through this transformative conversation!

• Identify predictive machine-learning applications for preventative medicine and pressure injury prevention
• Examine findings of peer-reviewed literature, providing strategies to improve your hospital's overall quality of care
• Discuss how to conserve hospital resources during periods of patient vulnerability, preventing excess costs and lowering patient PI risk

In this episode, NPIAP President Dr. Joyce Black is joined by Dr. Janet Cuddigan, from the University of Nebraska Medical Center, to discuss and remember Dr. Barbara Braden and the Braden Scale she developed.

There is currently a lack of awareness among nurses and assistive personnel on the need for effective turning for offloading pressure, not just frequency of turn, contributing to increased incidence of HAPI.  Current strategies (pillows and wedges) may not achieve the desired degree of turn.  This webinar will discuss the current state of the science related to turn and positioning devices. Evidence related to components included in these devices will be presented supporting the use of a multi-pronged approached for effective turning and pressure injury reduction. This webinar will raise awareness of current turn practices and the need for improvement to meet patient needs and reduce HAPI. The use of systems that address most extrinsic risk factors for pressure injury can be an effective strategy to reduce pressure injuries for immobile patients.

In this episode, NPIAP President Dr. Joyce Black is joined by Carley Rusch, PhD, RD, a Medical Science Liaison at Abbot Nutrition, to discuss the important role that nutrition plays in the wound recovery process.

Today’s episode brings back our newest co-host Dr. Joyce Black. Dr. Black starts with her mailbox and then Martin Burns joins the conversation. Martin is the CEO of Bruin Biometrics and joins Dr. Black to talk about the role of industry in pressure injury prevention. Martin is a member of the NPIAP in an industry role as the chairman of the Corporate Advisory Council within the organization. This discussion will address what it’s like from the industry perspective when working with clinicians. They also discuss how industry helps with researching new technologies in patient care. Martin ends the episode with advice on how clinicians can work with industry when they come to the clinic to sell their products. We hope you enjoy this episode with Martin Burns and Bruin Biometrics!

Pressure injury is one of the most prevalent secondary complications in people with spinal cord injury (SCI). In this webinar, Dr. Tzen will review the current evidence in research on pressure injury development in the population with SCI, including the latest findings on intrinsic risk factors of pressure injury, currently available risk assessment scale for this population, and the research behind selection of preventative strategies.
