Wound Care Programs
A comprehensive program built around your pressure ulcer needs
The KCI Wound Care Program is a complimentary program specifically designed to help facilities prevent and treat pressure ulcers. The KCI Wound Care Program can help participants study their facility’s environment, identify areas for improvement and provide information to effectively make positive changes.
This facility-wide program for overall wound care management aligns the goals of individual departments, allowing them to be more effective in managing pressure ulcers.
Positive Outcomes: A Goal We Can Achieve Together
The KCI Wound Care Program helps to minimize the incidence of pressure ulcers and control wound care costs by:
- Benchmarking your current Prevalence and Incidence pressure ulcer rate against a national database
- Identifying opportunities to reduce supply-chain cost
- Identifying areas for increased staff training
- Facilitating standardization of products and clinical protocols
- Driving cost-effective product utilization
- Improving identification and documentation of community-acquired pressure ulcers
- Monitoring and documenting your progress along the way
