As healthcare providers, we’re constantly balancing efficiency with quality care. One system, initially developed by a group of wound care experts in 2002, has helped me alot over the years: 1. TIMERS Framework – Tissue, Infection/Inflammation, Moisture balance, Edge of wound, Regeneration/Repair, and Social factors. This updated framework, expanding on the original TIME model, further emphasizes not just wound healing, but also the broader social factors that can impact recovery. Breaking down wound assessment into these six categories has made my evaluations quicker and more thorough. Not only does it ensure I’m not missing any critical factors, but it also gives patients a clear understanding of what’s happening with their wounds. It’s easy to overlook small changes in wound progression when we’re busy, but having a consistent system in place allows for better monitoring, more precise interventions, and ultimately, better outcomes. If you’re looking to streamline your patient care without sacrificing quality, I highly recommend implementing structured systems like this. Do you use a specific framework or system in your practice? I’d love to hear about it! #Woundcare #WoundAssessment #MedicalEfficiency #PatientCare #ClinicalFrameworks

Deanne McCarthy, RN, found herself frustrated by the lack of tools for performing quick, safe, and clinically effective oral care on intubated patients, prompting her to take matters into her own hands. She founded Swiftsure Innovations with the mission of providing better quality of life and outcomes for mechanically ventilated patients. This was followed by the development of the SwishKit, a simple and easy solution for rinsing the oropharynx in patients who are intubated. It safely irrigates and suctions the oral cavity, simplifying the process while cleaning the patient's mouth and preventing infection. 👏 To learn more about Swiftsure and their Health Tech innovations for ventilated patients, head to swiftsure.com #BouncePartner #BounceHealthInnovation #NewfoundlandandLabrador

#AdiuvoWoundEducation Series : Understanding Periwound Condition This week, we’re exploring the importance of periwound care. The periwound area, or the skin surrounding a wound, is crucial in the healing process and preventing complications. Main Periwound Conditions: Periwound Maceration: Overly moist skin appears white, soft, and wrinkled, due to excessive wound exudate. Proper moisture control is essential. Periwound Excoriation: Breakdown of skin from friction or moisture, leading to redness and rawness. Use gentle dressings and manage incontinence. Periwound Erythema: Redness indicating inflammation or infection. Prompt treatment is key. Understanding periwound care is essential for both patients and doctors: For Patients: Knowledge about periwound conditions helps recognize signs of complications and the importance of proper care, empowering active participation in recovery. For Doctors: A deep understanding of periwound care allows for accurate assessment and effective treatment planning, ensuring optimal healing and reducing complications. Join us as we explore the basics of wound healing and gain a deeper understanding of how our bodies mend themselves. Stay tuned for more insights and tips! #AdiuvoDiagnostics #letsilluminate #AdiuvoWoundCare #HealthCare #WoundHealing #PatientCare
