Rehab and Nursing: Working Together for Best Patient Outcomes

This session will expose participants to the importance of multidisciplinary care for the burn survivor, with a focus on rehabilitation and nursing collaboration.  Sessions will cover basic burn care (dressings & surgical care) and the importance of aftercare to maximize outcomes and facilitate reintegration into a burn survivors’ community.  Practical sessions will facilitate collaboration between rehabilitation and nursing for cutaneous functional unit measuring, functional dressing application and splinting, and optimal positioning utilizing materials readily available in any hospital setting.  All sessions will focus on the importance of collaboration between rehabilitation and nursing to optimize the burn survivor’s functional outcomes.​

Objectives of this session include

1.  Understanding the importance of collaboration between rehabilitation and nursing to optimize patient outcomes.

2.  Understanding the concept of cutaneous functional units and how these apply to treatment plan development, positioning and splinting.

3.  Demonstrate knowledge of functional dressing application for upper and lower extremities.
