Webinars and Videos

The webinar features leading experts Dr. Joyce Black and Kathleen Vollman, who will provide valuable insights and actionable strategies to help: • Understand the latest advancements in pressure injury prevention • Explore evidence-based best practices to enhance patient outcomes • Collaborate on innovative approaches to improve care delivery

In the first chapter, Dr. Joyce Black (PhD, RN, FAAN) takes a deep dive into how “pressure injury” may fit into your system with standardized protocols AND welcomes back our special guest, Kathleen Vollman (MSN, RN, CCNS, FCCM, FAAN) with her valuable intel on how systems respond to the risk of pressure injuries in the critically ill.

In this last chapter, Dr. Black discusses how to improve the health of the skin and its tolerance for pressure and shear. Since the power of good nutrition is a huge aspect of HAPI prevention, it should not be underestimated to ensure optimal skin health and to build that tolerance for pressure injuries.

Shear forces are a significant cause of pressure injury. Dr. Joyce Black (PhD, RN, FAAN) returns with tips on how to reduce shear effects where patients are the most vulnerable.

In this video, Dr. Joyce Black (PhD, RN, FAAN) dives into the 2nd aspect of reducing pressure injuries by minimizing the duration of pressure against the skin and soft tissue by turning and repositioning patients to reduce their risk of HAPI. As promised…we also have a SPECIAL guest speaker, Kathleen Vollman (MSN, RN, CCNS, FCCM, FCNS, FAAN), who shares her own experiences with Hemodynamic Instability and highlights the importance of repositioning to train patients to increase their intolerance for turning the most critically ill patients who may be deemed “unsafe to turn.”

There are so many issues with Hospital Acquired Pressure Injuries (HAPI) that we couldn't fit it all into one video. In the first chapter of four in this part of the journey, Dr. Black returns with more wisdom on how to push back on HAPI when working with an ICU or CCU patient.

Dr. Joyce Black takes us through this leg of the journey to explain the risks and causes of HAPI. She also reveals the tools and best practices needed to conduct a comprehensive and accurate skin and risk assessment.

In this video, Gail Powell-Cope reminds us that while it's important to keep patients safe while proning, healthcare workers need a culture of safety and practices to keep workers safe.

What's the best way to treat pressure injuries? According to Dr. Joyce Black, prevention is the cure. In this video, Dr. Black explains how you can safely prone patients using mobility teams while preventing pressure injuries.

In this first video, Kathleen Vollman demonstrates who and when to prone safely, as well as the best proning methods to use with mobility teams. She discusses evidence based protocols for proning as a method of mobility for ventilated and self-proning patients.
