Could You Cut Wound Care Costs?

When it comes to wound care, your number one goal is obviously to deliver the best possible care. However, many facilities also have the opportunity to reduce costs without sacrificing quality or performance. 

Ask yourself the following questions to determine if you could trim your wound care budget:

Does my PPD spending align with the severity of wounds in my building?
Your spending should be a reflection of your residents' acuity.

Are there less-expensive yet equally effective alternatives to the products I am currently using?
An identical wound care product from a different manufacturer might be offered at a lower price. Also, keep in mind that there are a number of available products that can perform several different wound care functions, eliminating the need to purchase multiple products.

How am I ensuring that the caregivers at my facility are using the products correctly?
Misuse can lead to wasted product – and wasted money. If you choose to add or change products, make sure that your staff is properly in-serviced on the products.
