      New Perspective on the Pressure Ulcer Staging System, April 25, 2010
      Reviewed By: Julia, Other
      Thought-provoking presentation on the legal implications of pressure ulcers. Especially appreciated the discussion on the limitations of the pressure ulcer staging system and the importance of documentation in determining whether litigation is filed. Emphasis on accurate staging also appreciated. Would have liked to be able to print the slides that were presented - took me longer than 1 hour to complete the course because I was taking lots of notes from the slides, which is why I rated 4 instead of 5.
