Skin Health Solution

Practicing proper skin and wound care can be overlooked by frontline staff. We believe it takes a 360-degree view to drive positive change and improve outcomes. Partnering with our clinical experts, including many Board Certified WOC nurses, we created Medline’s Skin Health Solution. Our comprehensive approach empowers clinicians to put prevention first. From best practice guidance and staff training to a unique system products, this is how we make skin health second nature.

The Benefits of Skin Health Solution

  • Best Practice Guidance – customized recommendations based on insights and analysis to help reduce variation
