January 25 | 12:00pm CST | Effectively Using the QAPI Process to Implement a Wound Program | Presenter: Jeri Ann Lundgren
An in-house acquired or declining wound or pressure injury puts providers at risk for regulatory citations and litigation. The burden on the provider is to demonstrate that the development or decline of a wound/pressure injury was unavoidable. The interventions that are implemented within the first 24 hours are critical, as well as on-going interdisciplinary updates to the plan of care. This session will utilize the QAPI approach for implementing or enhancing a wound/pressure injury program to ensure your program meets regulatory guidance for F686, as well as NPIAP and WOCN standards of practice to minimize regulatory and legal risk.
Learning Objectives:
- Develop an interdisciplinary team approach and have effective team meetings that include prevention
- Demonstrate how to effectively utilize the wound care nurse to manage and oversee the program
- Review common assessment, documentation and program errors that put facilities at risk for litigation or regulatory citations

February 3 | 12:00 pm CST | Rumbling with Vulnerability: Conquering the Six Myths that Keep Us from Being Courageous | Presenter: Lisa Brower
There is a paradox around vulnerability. It goes like this… we love to see it in other people but we hate to show it in ourselves. It’s the first thing we look for in others but the last thing we want people to see in us. Brené Brown, shame researcher and author of Dare to Lead, stresses that vulnerability is a prerequisite for daring leadership. She believes that our ability to be daring leaders will never be greater than our capacity for vulnerability.
In this engaging session, Lisa, a Certified Dare to Lead Facilitator, will invite you into an elevated conversation about vulnerability where you’ll:
- understand what vulnerability is and why it matters now
- identify your response when you feel vulnerable
- debunk the six myths around vulnerability
- get clear on how to practice the art of vulnerability
