Having comprehensive programs in place when surveyors walk in the facility might be the ounce of prevention you need. Compass can help you be survey-ready for CMS tags F309 and F314. The Compass programs are practical, hands-on resources developed by Medline's clinical staff to help your clinicians meet standards of practice, improve care outcomes and reduce regulatory risk.
Wound Care: Prevention and Treatment helps you deliver consistent, appropriate and standardized care through education; targeting the right information for the right audience. The comprehensive reference book was designed for the treatment nurse as was the easy-to-use pocket guide for the bedside nurse. Pamphlets for distinct wound types are available for resident and family.

A Diabetes Resource for Long-Term Care helps educate staff, residents and their families– each at the appropriate level of detail. 25% of nursing home residents live with diabetes and the often serious complications resulting from poor diabetes management, this comprehensive program includes recommended standards, proper procedures, glucose monitoring training, and tips on nutrition and exercise in the long-term care setting.
