As a key member of our healthcare team, you will work closely with physicians, dietitians, and other professionals to develop and implement comprehensive care plans.

Key Responsibilities
  1. Wound Assessment and Evaluation:
  • Conduct thorough assessments of wounds, documenting size, depth, drainage, stage, and signs of infection or complications.
  • Evaluate patient conditions, including comorbidities, nutritional status, and mobility, which may affect wound healing.
  • Identify underlying causes of wounds, such as pressure, vascular insufficiency, or diabetes, and develop effective care plans.
Wound Care Treatment and Management:
  • Apply appropriate dressings and topical treatments based on the type and severity of the wound.
  • Manage wound infections by administering prescribed antibiotics and ensuring proper wound hygiene.
  • Perform debridement of necrotic tissue when necessary and as per facility protocols, utilizing safe and effective methods (e.g., autolytic, mechanical, enzymatic).
  • Monitor wound healing progress and adjust care plans as needed to ensure optimal healing.
Patient and Family Education:
  • Educate patients and their families about the importance of proper wound care and prevention strategies to avoid further damage.
  • Instruct patients on how to properly care for wounds at home, including how to change dressings, recognize signs of infection, and prevent pressure injuries.
  • Provide advice on lifestyle modifications (e.g., proper nutrition, mobility, and hygiene) to support wound healing.
Multidisciplinary Collaboration:
  • Work closely with physicians, dietitians, physical therapists, and other healthcare professionals to develop and implement effective care plans.
  • Collaborate with the healthcare team to address the root causes of wounds, such as improving blood flow, managing chronic conditions, or promoting mobility.
  • Participate in case discussions and care meetings, providing expertise on wound management and contributing to treatment strategies.
Documentation and Reporting:
  • Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of patient assessments, treatments, interventions, and wound care progress.
  • Document wound measurements, descriptions, and the patient's response to treatment in the medical record, ensuring compliance with legal and healthcare standards.
  • Report any complications, such as infection or delayed healing, to the medical team in a timely manner.
Prevention and Risk Assessment:
  • Conduct regular risk assessments for patients at risk of developing pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, or other chronic wounds.
  • Implement and educate patients on preventive measures, such as turning schedules for bedridden patients, pressure-relieving devices, and appropriate footwear.
  • Advise on nutrition and hydration to support tissue health and wound healing.
Pain Management:
  • Assess and manage pain associated with wounds, utilizing both pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods.
  • Provide comfort measures, such as positioning, dressing changes, and emotional support, to minimize pain and discomfort.
  • Educate patients on pain management techniques, including medication adherence and the importance of reporting pain changes.
Quality Improvement and Best Practices:
  • Stay informed on the latest wound care research, treatment options, and best practices to ensure the highest standards of care are met.
  • Participate in quality improvement initiatives, such as audits, peer reviews, and training, to improve the quality of wound care services provided.
  • Provide training and support to other staff members, including nurses, nursing assistants, and healthcare workers, on effective wound care techniques.

We offer an estimated salary of $120,000 annually, plus benefits and opportunities for professional growth. Join Magnet Medical as we strive to deliver exceptional patient care and innovative solutions in the field of wound management.
