Prevention Strategies and Coding Updates for Moisture Associated Skin Damage (1.0 CEU)
Presented by: Donna Z. Bliss, PhD; Mikel Gray, PhD; Laurie McNichol, MSN

Correlate the incidence of moisture associated skin damage (MASD) with a patient's risk for pressure injury/ulcer (PI/U) development and explore clinical challenges in the differential diagnosis of MASD versus PI/U
Differentiate the diagnosis between a wound caused by Pressure Injuries (due to presence of friction or sheer) and MASD (due to presence of urine, stool or sweat)
Examine the Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Nurses Society’s new ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes for Moisture-Associated Skin Damage (MASD)
Examine the use of advanced skin protectants for the prevention of MASD
Explore, via cases, strategies to manage MASD
