The staffing mandate is gone. But the wound risk the mandate was meant to address remains.

Facilities no longer have a federal floor, and they can’t hire their way out of wound liability. The controllable lever is the delivery model: a tenured wound specialist in your building will always beat a rotating, stretched-thin internal team that has no outside help. 

The former tops the latter in all outcomes: survey defensibility, litigation defense, and outcomes both health and financial.

As skilled care providers plan for 2027, their wound-care program must be structured for the post-mandate world. In doing so, they will be prepared for success in three key areas of skilled nursing, and will be a step ahead on wound care.

Read the guide to learn:

  • The impact that the staffing mandate repeal has on wound care
  • Three areas of impact with better wound care: regulatory, litigation, financial   
  • Why one Florida SNF partners with Vohra
  • How an onsite wound-care team can improve care outcomes
  • Best practices for building your wound-care program
