Janine?

Thank you.

Excited to be here too with all of you ladies and having this conversation.

I'm Janine McGuire.

I'm a physical therapist by background.

Uh, I spent about seven years in burn unit, outpatient wound center, acute care, and then the last, uh, then another 23 in skilled nursing, nursing homes, uh, assisted living, uh, across the country and building their wound teams.

And the last couple years, uh, president and co-founder of the Post-Acute Wound Skin Integrity Council, and I work as a consultant and advisor for different wound provider groups.

[laughs]

Mm-hmm.

And many of those interventions are the same.

We definitely have to document that we're doing the offloading, the turning, the nutrition, the skin care, the skin check.

But we also need to, to Beatrice's point, have conversations with the patient and or the family, whatever's appropriate, what is skin failure and what are the risk factors.

Because when somebody does develop skin failure, it's not the skin failure necessarily that causes a lot of upset.

It can.

It's very upsetting to look at when it's your loved one.

Mm-hmm
