Palliative Care Conversation Support Tool for Residents with Non-Healable Wounds

Chronic diseases often impair wound healing, and about 5-10% of wounds are non-healable, requiring a focus on symptom management and infection prevention. Palliative wound care is a holistic approach that emphasizes quality of life, reducing caregiver burden, and addressing family concerns, particularly in individuals with advanced illness.

Clear communication and education between patients, families, and medical teams are essential in end-of-life care, especially when dealing with non-healing wounds. Caregivers may feel guilty even after following proper wound care standards, as chronic wounds are often linked to declining health.

To provide additional support approaching conversations related to palliative care options, Probari's clinical team is sharing this recent article from Caring for the Ages, a publication by PALTmed to help address residents with non-healable wounds and incurable chronic diseases.
