* V.A.C. VERAFLO™ Therapy was discontinued after 3 weeks. Sterile, freeze dried matrix of 44% oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC), 55% collagen and 1% silver-ORC (PROMOGRAN PRISMA™ Matrix; Systagenix
UK, Inc., Gatwick, West Sussex) was applied to the shoulder for one week until ACTIV.A.C.™ Therapy (KCI USA, Inc., San Antonio, TX) could be initiated at -150mmHg continuous negative pressure for five weeks.
Split-tissue skin grafts were placed over the wound and bolstered with continuous negative pressure at -125mmHg for 7 days. By post STSG week 4, the wound continued to heal without complication.

This session will familiarize the participants to the specific
skin challenges neonates are confronted to. Many wounds
observed within this population are preventable thanks to a basic
knowledge of the neonate’s skin characteristics.
The Geriatric skin does not have the same defenses as skin of
someone much younger. The elderly population, especially in
the long term care setting, are dealing with comorbidities that no
longer allow them to be independent making their risk increase
and their healing capability to be compromised. These issues will
be discussed.

studies and relevant research on this subject will be presented as

This keynote presentation by Sam Glenn is an empowering,
entertaining and captivating way to recharge your group’s
attitude batteries, rekindle enthusiasm and ignite a new level of
personal and professional positivity +! It is what we like to call a
positive kick in the attitude!
Every day we pick the attitude we will go at life with. Sam often
refers to this as picking the driver of your bus. Which attitude do
you want driving your bus for your life and your organization?
The bus being our skills, education, experience and objectives. If
the wrong attitude is driving our bus, we will not achieve our full
potential or give our best. This is why it is vital to have attitude
awareness – to understand that the attitude we choose every
day is either leading us closer to our desired success or further
away from it.
Our attitude is a lot like a battery and sometimes it loses its
positive charge. Sam not only puts that positive spark into
everyone’s attitude, but shows how to maintain that positive
spark in the midst of adversity and the things that drain us. Sam
discusses how we make attitude a choice every day and that our

This program is designed to rekindle your organization’s
enthusiasm. More than just having a positive attitude, Sam
discusses ways to put the right attitude into action and how
doing so will achieve the best results. While we cannot control
what goes on around us, we can control our perceptions,
responses and actions, which ultimately form our attitude. In this
side-splitting humorous program Sam shares his seven attitude
lessons that will transform your organization.

Speakers:
Catherine Ratliff, PhD, GNP-BC, CWOCN, CFCN
Stephanie Yates, MSN, RN, ANP-BC, CWOCN
In an effort to provide clinical guidance for providing
individualized care to patients with chronic venous insufficiency
(CVI), the WOCN Society developed an evidence-and consensusbased algorithm for compression in patients with CVI. An
algorithmic approach for venous ulcer primary prevention,
management, and prevention of reoccurrence was selected to
assist evidence-based clinical decision making for application of
compression across the health care continuum. This session will
introduce the end product of that initiative: the VLU algorithm,
discuss how it was developed and provide rational for the use of
the cornerstone concept, clinical CEAP scores.

(S04) Maintaining Peristomal Skin Health:
What We Can Do!

Room: 710 a
Speakers:
Dorothy Doughty, MN, RN, CWOCN, CFCN, FAAN
Jo Hoeflok, MA, BSN, RN, CGN, CETN
Despite improvements in surgical techniques and ostomy product
availability, the incidence of peristomal skin complications
remains remarkably high; reported rates are greater than 75%,
are not limited to one group or region, and are associated
with significantly lower quality of life. Recent research also
suggests that patients frequently fail to recognize and report
peristomal skin complications. While we now have a number
of studies reporting on the incidence and type of peristomal
complications, we lack evidence as to strategies for preventing
(continued)

It seems that we cannot go a week without another front page
headline about a data breach. Sophisticated cyber criminals
have put healthcare in the crosshairs due to the wealth (literally)
of information available and relatively easy to obtain. Other
industries have implemented rigorous programs to protect
consumers from identity theft, but healthcare lags behind...
instead of developing standardized guidelines regulators
penalize. This system of penalty was for a bygone era, no longer
are the days of if you experience a breach, it’s when you will get
breached again.
During this session, Jen will walk the audience through the
basics of cybersecurity and HIPAA as they specifically pertain

malnutrition, dehydration, reduced quality of life, significant
morbidity and mortality, and high health care costs. The etiology
can be multifactorial. However, ensuring adequate nutrition
and hydration is an integral component of care. Management of
these patients is complex and requires an understanding of the
physiological alterations that occur in order to understand the
treatments employed. Those treatments can include dietary,
fluid and pharmacological agents. This presentation will address

This session will familiarize the participants with the unique
challenges faced by ET nurses caring for children with ostomies,
from the neonate to the teenager. State of the art tips will be
given to help adjunct their current practice and diminish their
apprehension in caring for this population. Often, especially with
the neonates, the ET nurse must be creative and imaginative in
adapting products and techniques to meet their needs.

Susan M. Scott, BSN, MSN, RN, CWOCN
The incidence of perioperative pressure ulcers over the past 5
years has NOT decreased but increased (Chen, 2012). According
to a 2014 publication from the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory
Panel the incident rate for pressure ulcers attributed to the
operating room range from 5% – 53.4%. As a result substantial
patient harm has been reported leading to complications,
disfigurement, disability, and death. Despite published
guidelines specific to the operating room (OR) significant gaps in
knowledge, practice, and research exist.
The Association of Perioperative Registered nurses (AORN)
chartered a task force including AORN subject matter expert
members and representation from the Wound, Ostomy and
Continence Nurses Society. The task force has created a PPUP
online toolkit for both association and society members.
(continued)
This online toolkit will contain: PPUP Program Quality
Improvement (QI) roadmap, surgical specific evidence-based risk
assessment tools and trigger systems, gap analysis and handoff
communication tools, patient safety investigation and root cause
analysis checklists and current references. Additionally several
webinars, downloadable slide decks and posters will be available
on various topics including: Surgical positioning, risk assessment,
quality improvement, skin assessment and documentation.
The presentation will describe the toolkit components, and illustrate
a strategic plan to raise awareness, improve communication, and
competency around a vision of eliminating patient harm from
pressure ulcers in the high-risk surgical population. The toolkit
is meant to strengthen peri-operative pressure ulcer prevention
efforts, supplementing or adding to an institution-wide
comprehensive pressure ulcer prevention program.

Speaker:
Catherine Harley, RN, eMBA
Canadian tri-specialty nurses in wound, ostomy and continence
care, Enterostomal Therapists, were often being de-valued
in their role and in some cases were being replaced by lesser
skilled healthcare professionals who cost organizations less. In
June 2015, the CAET launched a Leadership program to support
Enterostomal Therapists in making their leadership visible. This
1 year, 8 hours per week program was aligned with the “Leads
in a Caring Environment” leadership framework to support the
development of specialized nurse leaders within the healthcare
system. A unique learning experience was developed and
implemented.
A formal evaluation process will be conducted in July 2016
after the completion of the first program. Based on informal
feedback, we know that ET nurses gained by broadening their
perspectives in self-awareness and leadership styles and gained
27

highly practical skills in areas such as project planning, giving
constructive feedback, negotiation, coaching and dealing with
conflict. This will give them the confidence to step up and
speak out to be visible leaders. Their organizations will gain
by improved organizational performance and results through
stronger team leadership. Patients and families will gain by
having contact with a nurse leader who identifies positions and
integrates patient and family needs to achieve best care.

In 2012 the Affordable Care Act required the establishment of
a transparency program now known as The Physician Payments
Sunshine Act. Under this legislation, manufacturers of drugs,
medical devices and biologicals must report certain payments
and items of value given to physicians and teaching hospitals
to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS). CMS is
responsible for implementing the Sunshine Act and has called it
the Open Payments Program.
WOC nurses must have an understanding of the key provisions
in The Sunshine Act in order to support each other and our
physician colleagues in the implementation of this federal
program.

When incontinence is managed with best practice principles/
initiatives, this decreases the incidence of care sensitive adverse
events (CSAE) such as: pressure ulcers, falls and hospital acquired
urinary tract infection (HAUTI), functional incontinence and
epidermal damage and infection.
Our purpose was to develop and implement a continence
protocol for adults in acute care in a large community based
hospital in western Canada.
Speaker:
Derick Fage
“I was born with a high imperforate anus, which as many of you
probably know, means that I was born with the opening and
without a sphincter muscle. This was diagnosed immediately at
birth and has posed some unique challenges.”
Over the past 25 years Derick has focused on his passion of
entertaining, starring in a number of independent films. He’s also
a veteran of live theatre, where he has portrayed over a dozen
characters.
A self- proclaimed child at heart, Derick is curious about everyone
and everything, and it’s this very quality that engages viewers
daily. Derick thrives on conveying what’s happening to viewers
in a fun and informative manner. Derick recently accepted the

pouches are so that they can decide if and when to
empty them. The sensor automatically collates the data
regarding volume of output and timing and enables the
