SAVANNAH, GA – MARCH 6, 2020 – Corstrata, a provider of digital healthcare IT solutions and services for wound prevention and care management, announced today that it will sponsor the second annual Post-Acute Care Wound Nurse Excellence Award. This Award is designed to recognize and honor the individual contributions of wound care clinicians for their knowledge and expertise in providing exceptional patient care using evidence-based best practices to accelerate patient wound healing, improve patient outcomes, and instill excellence in his/her overall practice of wound management.
Sponsored by CORSTRATA and hosted by the Post-Acute Care Symposium (PACS), the Post-Acute Care Wound Nurse Excellence Award is open to all clinicians working in post-acute care settings. The annual award recognizes one individual for his/her direct contribution to overall wound care excellence in post-acute care.
“We are excited to work with HMP, producers of the Post-Acute Care Symposium (PACS) and Symposium on Advanced Wound Care (SAWC) Spring meetings, to again offer this award that highlights and recognizes the critical importance of the work wound care clinicians are doing across the country in the post-acute setting,” commented Katherine Piette, CEO and Co-Founder, Corstrata. “Nominees will also gain great exposure for their work with entries being judged by our distinguished panel of judges that represent three of the top experts in the post-acute wound care industry.”
The distinguished panel of judges for the Post-Acute Care Wound Clinician Excellence Award include, Cathy Milne, MSN, APRN, CWOCN-AP, Advanced Practice Nurse – Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Connecticut Clinical Nursing Associates Bristol, Connecticut; Diane Krasner, PhD, RN, FAAN, Wound and Skin Care Consultant, Co-Editor, Chronic Wound Care: The Essentials e-Book 2018 Co-Chair, Why Wound Care Campaign for Nurses York, Pennsylvania; and Dot Weir, RN, CWON, CWS, Saratoga Hospital Center for Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine, Saratoga, New York, Co-Chair of the Symposium on Advanced Wound Care (SAWC) and Co-Director of the wound track for AMP, the Amputation Prevention Symposium, Founding Board of the Association for the Advancement of Wound Care, Secretary of the International Wound Infection Institute and a member of the International Planning Committee for the 2020 World Union of Wound Healing Societies conference.
“As Cathy Milne, our PACS co-chair and judge stated, ‘With the post-acute care setting now central to our healthcare delivery system, we saw an unmet need to provide a practical conference for clinical professionals that focuses on the day-to-day realities of residents/patients with wound issues,’ and that is why HMP is excited to again support the Post-Acute Care Wound Clinician Excellence Award,” said Peter Norris, Executive Vice President, HMP. “By hosting the award at PACS, we are not only providing attendees with actionable clinical pearls to help advance quality outcomes through wound education, but also recognizing front line clinicians who make a difference in their patient’s lives every day.”
