Our dedicated support team helps you overcome tough challenges
You’re passionate about managing today’s healthcare challenges. But stress levels are high and instability can lead to inconsistent care. How do you fill the gaps? Empower your team to standardize best practices. Our clinical and skin health specialists have post-acute field experience and understand that caregivers form the backbone of your organization. We provide support at every level to help solve problems today and ensure your long-term success.
Achieve standardization of care with our holistic approach
The individuals you care for may be at high risk for skin breakdown or have existing skin damage. But when staff feels overwhelmed by product options, limited time and lack of knowledge, skin health becomes guesswork. Standardizing care makes it easier to make skin health second nature. We help by focusing on three key areas:
People
Our specialists help empower bedside staff to follow best practices, better communicate with providers and get buy-in from patients and families.
Process
We work with you to create clinical guidelines based on the latest research and information from leading organizations such as NPIAP, ISTAP, WOCN Society, CARS and IWII.
Products
We help create a standardized and simple formulary with a system of products that’s multifunctional to help avoid confusion, optimize ordering and eliminate inefficiencies.
Clinical guidelines are key to better skin health management
We customize clinical guidelines with your integrated formulary to help you:
- Promote standardization. Evidence-based practices drive clinical and operational efficiencies
- Seamless onboarding. Every team member has the same, simple guidance they need, easily accessible, so onboarding is easier and retention is higher.
- Lower costs. Proper skin injury classification leads to the right interventions and product usage, reducing healing times, labor and product expenses.
- Better communication. Reliable, always-there guidance empowers caregivers to bridge communication gaps between providers, patients and families.
Sustain caregiver knowledge with comprehensive resources
Our skin health specialists become your partners, setting you up and walking you through a sustainable educational plan that fits the needs of your care setting. Use our train-the-trainer programs, targeted webinars, Skin Health hotline, targeted post-acute boot camps and more.
With our Skin Health digital platform, nurses have on-the-go access to customized dressing selection, online product information and application videos.
Discover expert-led webinars, decision trees, and more than 50 online courses, including knowledge assessments to customize your training plan and many CE courses for nurses.
Created by clinicians to empower staff and support best practices, Skin Champion™ and Skin Matters™ provide targeted training for both licensed staff and CNAs.
Reducing care variation leads to faster healing
Riverside Healthcare realized they had too many products, disorganized caregiver training and a hodgepodge of protocols. They turned to Medline for help. After implementing our approach, they saw a decrease in days to healing: diabetic foot ulcers reduced from 86 to 40 days and arterial ulcers from 78 to 30 days.
