WoundCentrics has announced that it will attend the National Association of Long-Term Hospitals Spring 2022 Clinical Education & Annual Member Meeting in Glendale, Arizona April 20-22.   WoundCentrics is an Advocate Partner of NALTH and a long-time member of the organization.

After a 2-year hiatus for NALTH's in person educational meetings due to the Covid 19 pandemic, WoundCentrics is excited to be supporting the conference in person and reconnect with other members.  WoundCentrics will display in the marketing booth area during the conference and provide information on their unique integrated wound care services designed specifically for the LTACH.

The Conference Agenda highlights for the Clinical Educational meeting include:

  • The Healthcare System -- Post Pandemic: A New State of the Industry

  • Recovery After Transfer from Hospital to LTACH (RAFT) -- Study for COVID-19

  • Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV)

  • Comorbidities: Dialysis and Vent Weaning

  • Post ICU Syndrome: COVID

  • Tracheostomy

WoundCentrics own Dr. Marcus Gitterle will participate in NALTH's new Chief Medical Officer Clinical Program and Dinner that will focus on the key issues for medical leadership in the LTACH setting.  A stated goal for the CMO meeting is to review the literature on outcomes and the group will develop recommended LTACH standards.

“The CMO Clinical Program and Dinner will be an excellent opportunity for the LTACH physician leadership to meet and discuss the best practices and clinical standards for patients,” Dr. Marcus Gitterle, CMO for WoundCentrics explained.  “With the challenges of Covid 19 pandemic and the increased high acuity of the LTACH patients, the clinical exchange among LTACH medical officers should be well attended and provide useful insights for CMOs.”

"We are excited to be able to see our fellow NALTH members in person again and share the changing wound care trends we have seen in the LTACH setting over the past two years since we last met,” stated Stuart Oertli, Chief Operating Officer for WoundCentrics and a long time LTACH administrator.
