Fundamentals of Burn Care – “The Outpatient Burn Clinic” Tuesday, March 211:00 pm - 5:00 pm Republic Ballroom Course Directors: Victor C. Joe, MD, FACS, Barbara R. Birmingham, CRNP and Tammy L. Coffee, MSN, RN, ACNP According to most recent estimates, approximately 486,000 burn injuries occur yearly that require medical treatment. Of these, the overwhelming majority (80%) are treated in the outpatient setting. Overall survival approaches 97%, including many with very large TBSA involvement. Over time, we have recognized that burn survivors have ongoing needs that must be addressed long after discharge. Increasing pressures on resource utilization have created an environment emphasizing earlier transitions to outpatient care while maintaining high quality outcomes. All of these factors have increased greatly the importance and role of the outpatient burn clinic in recovery from burn injury. As a result of attending this activity, the learner should be able to: Identify the factors that impact triage decisions in burn care (inpatient vs. outpatient) Identify the various products and techniques in the wound care armamentarium to maximize efficacy and efficiency of outpatient burn wound management Recognize the alternatives and adjuncts available for the treatment of acute and chronic burn-related pain Describe both the short and long-term physical and psychosocial needs of burn patients and how to address them 1:00 pm - 1:10 pm   Introduction Victor C.

Harrington, MD, FACS and Stephanie L. Farquhar, RN, CCRN Running a burn center is not just taking care of patients but being an administrator, a manager and a leader. Many practitioners are put in leadership positions in burn centers without any training in team building and leadership. Leadership skills, in all disciplines and on all levels, can increase productivity and effectiveness. As a result of attending this activity, the learner should be able to: Identify available resources for leaders and managers Identify team building opportunities Discuss the importance of communication skills among all team members Describe the impact leaders can have on the quality of care Discuss the importance of competencies for burn team members 1:00 pm - 1:05 pm   Introduction David T.

Peck, MD, ScD, FACS Associate Medical Director, Arizona Burn Center Phoenix, Arizona Burn teams have an interdisciplinary nature acquired through many decades of practical experience working in the environment of burn centers. However, there is rarely a systematic, methodical approach taken to building and maintaining burn teams. When burn teams function well, they are among the best teams in the medical center. When they function poorly however, resolution of problems may be slow or incomplete because of inadequate understanding of some of the important principles that underlie team functions. As a result of attending this activity, the learner should be able to: Identify the parameters by which team functioning can be measured Understand and describe the barriers to optimal team functioning Utilize one or more techniques for improving team functioning Figure.

Do We Learn From Our Experiences? Course Directors: Anthony Papp, MD, PhD and Patricia A. Kardos MSN, CCRN Course Description: Education, in general, teaches us how to do things in the correct way and how to lessen the risks for complications. However, things do not always go as planned. Not enough attention is paid to complications; why they occur, how we deal with them and what the follow-up is. Managing complications is typically more challenging than managing treatment courses that are not complicated. There are lessons to be learned from complications and these give us an opportunity for both quality of care assessments and improvement. As a result of attending this activity, the learner should be able to: Discuss how to review complications Describe the principles of peer review, loop closure, M&M rounds and quality assessment Describe the tools for quality improvement Wednesday, March 22 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm Back Bay A Ballroom 2:00 pm - 2:10 pm   Course Overview Anthony Papp, MD, PhD 2:10 pm - 2:30 pm   What Does Quality Improvement Look Like?

Joe, MD, FACS Course Description: Achieving adequate control of pain is a well known problem of paramount importance to burn patients and providers alike. In response to general concerns regarding underassessment and inadequate management of pain, the American Pain Society introduced the idea of “pain” as the 5th vital sign in 1996. The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organization (JCAHO) followed in 2001 with a statement on the standards for pain assessment and management. Fifteen to twenty years later, adequate pain control continues to be a formidable challenge, occurring within an environment where opioid abuse and addiction have become a public health concern. This course will explore the physiologic basis for pain and a broad range of pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic approaches for pain management in both the inpatient and outpatient settings. As a result of attending this activity, the learner should be able to: Describe the physiologic mechanisms of pain Recognize the basic pharmacology of common opioid and non-opioid medications used in pain control and apply them to the development of effective pain control regimens in the inpatient and outpatient settings Identify non-pharmacologic adjuncts for pain control and when to use them Explain the challenges of pain control in various populations - pediatrics, chronic pain, substance abuse Wednesday, March 22 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm Independence Ballroom 2:00 pm - 2:10 pm   Introduction - Background, Basics, and the Beginning of the Journey Victor C.

Shupp, MD, FACS and Lauren Moffatt, PhD In order to address the challenges and uncertainties involved in caring for burn patients, a multi-pronged research approach in both subject matter and study design is required that mirrors the multidisciplinary nature of burn care. Research that aims to improve treatment and outcomes for burn patients must take many shapes and involve many players, but maintain a core level of integrity and a defined structure in order to yield meaningful, publishable results that have the opportunity to be translated to care. The discussions, led by a panel of experienced professionals, focusing on their own area of interest and expertise, will be tailored to address gaps in knowledge and exposure to the research process that members may have. This session addresses the gap in understanding of the ethical implications of SM use by HCPs, patients and families, and promotes discussion of the complexities of this new form of communication in healthcare. As a result of attending this activity, the learner should be able to: Identify the importance of research in shaping burn care Explain the process for becoming involved in meaningful research Identify what ABA resources are available to the members 12:15 pm - 12:15 pm   Introduction Jeffrey W.

Dissanaike, MD, FACS Social media (SM) has become a pervasive part of modern culture and increasingly involves healthcare practitioners (HCP), patients and their families. Use of social media by HCP is under increasing scrutiny by regulatory authorities and healthcare institutions, since there are few predefined “rules” of engagement. This has unfortunately resulted in incidents of physicians and nurses losing their jobs and reputations over content deemed inappropriate. Conversely, social media can serve as a very useful tool to connect patients, burn survivors and families with resources and information they may otherwise not have access to. This session addresses the gap in understanding of the ethical implications of SM use by HCPs, patients and families, and promotes discussion of the complexities of this new form of communication in healthcare. As a result of attending this activity, the learner should be able to: Navigate social media effectively and appropriately Understand both the dangers and benefits inherent in this medium Understand the ethical principles that are involved when using social media effectively 12:15 pm - 12:20 pm   Introduction Sharmila D.

Cartotto, MD, FRCS(C) and Christopher W. Lentz, MD, FACS, FCCM Not all therapeutic decisions in burn care are informed by large prospective randomized studies. Frequently there are opposing approaches to the same clinical problem. This course will highlight four controversial areas in burn treatment. Experts will defend their stance on a particular care plan or strategy. Audience polling will be used to identify the attendee's biases before the debate and their positions after the debate to see if the presented arguments change opinions. As a result of attending this activity, the learner should be able to: Differentiate between the scientific support and experience of the experts Appraise the science and experience from the experts Discuss the rationale for each of these topics Identify their own rationale for support the practice or be open to other treatment modalities 2:00 pm - 2:05 pm   Introduction Robert C.

Wiechman, PhD, ABPP, Gretchen J. Carrougher, RN, MN and Ingrid S. Parry, MS, PT Currently there is no official recognition of specialty practice for burn therapists or burn nurses. This session will describe how burn nurses and burn therapist developed competencies and are pursuing specialty. The e-Delphi methodology used for the burn nurse competencies will be described and a final list of competencies with essential performance criteria presented. The burn therapist section will describe how their competencies were used as a foundation for the development of a burn therapist certification as a means of acknowledging expertise in burn rehabilitation. The history of the development of certification and detailed plans for implementation within the organization will be discussed. Certification requirements and the application process will be described for those interested in pursuing burn therapy certification. As a result of attending this activity, the learner should be able to: Describe the process of developing competencies for therapists and nurses Discuss the status of this process for nurses and therapists Identify further requirements to do to move toward certification Explain the importance of using profession-based competencies in the evaluation of providers in their burn center to hospital administrators to gain support Identify the process of certification and how to gain hospital administration support 2:00 pm - 2:05 pm   Introduction Shelley A.

Branski, MD, MMS and Rajiv Sood, MD, FACS LASER treatment is fast becoming a complimentary procedure for burn scar management. Through phototherapy and tissue ablation LASERS may accelerate the natural burn remodeling trajectory and result in a better cosmetic endpoint. Currently there are no standard protocols for the use of LASERS in burn scar treatment and there is little research to guide the burn practitioner on appropriate use of LASER in burn scar management. This course will review the science of LASERS. Leaders in burn LASER therapy will discuss current LASER research and clinical experience with LASER use in both pediatric and adult burn patients. As a result of attending this activity, the learner should be able to: Relate current research in LASER burn scar therapy Discuss the science of LASERS Discuss the use of LASERS 2:00 pm - 2:05 pm   Introduction Ludwik K.

The ABA monitors changes in the legislative and policy arenas that may affect its membership. Through its annual National Leadership Conference, ongoing communications with government agencies such as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service and the Consumer Product Safety Commission as well its work with other medical specialty societies, the ABA seeks to keep abreast of these “of the moment” issues - reimbursement, prevention, quality of care - and affect their outcome to benefit burn care providers and institutions with burn centers. Despite, the ABA's advocacy and legislative initiatives and work, many ABA members, including burn care professionals, fire departments and burn foundations, do not know about the power of legislation and how it can help set standards on a local, state or federal level, as well as possibly bring funding to projects and research. This proposed course will cover the importance of legislation for burn care professionals and how they can use legislation as a powerful tool in their work to advocate for their burn units, burn patients and communities. Also, the course will cover the path to legislation including: strategic planning/ preparation (research, collecting/presenting data, collecting testimonies, etc.) and identifying/engaging key stakeholders (ABA, CPSC, NFPA, IAFF, medical equipment groups, visiting nurse/ medical care groups, etc.), as well as provide examples of how legislation has been used to successfully save lives. As a result of attending this activity, the learner should be able to: Describe the importance of legislation in the burn community Describe the steps needed to set the stage for an ask Give examples of ways legislation was used in the burn community Understand what is the National Leadership Conference and how it can assist with legislative change 2:00 pm - 2:05 pm   Welcome and Introductions Jennifer Radics-Johnson, MBA Karla Ahrns-Klas, RN, BSN, CCRP 2:05 pm - 2:25 pm   Prevention Legislation That Has Successfully Saved Lives Ernest Grant, PhD, MSN, RN, FAAN 2:25 pm - 2:40 pm   Utilizing the National Leadership Conference as an Opportunity for Change Michael D.
