Seymour™ Wound Care Model Educates Patients and Providers
With Medicare’s new Prospective Payment System (PPS) for pressure ulcers, wound assessment has become critical. Inaccurate assessment can misdirect the plan of care, affect reimbursement, and cause inaccurate reporting of patient outcomes and the appearance of potentially adverse events. VATA Inc (Canby, Ore) provider of intravenous, infusion, and venipuncture training, offers realistic models such as the Seymour II™. Seymour is the most comprehensive model of its
kind, molded from a 74-year-old patient, it looks and feels like the real thing.
Seymour is an effective tool for educating healthcare professionals and patients in the identification, staging, probable etiologies, use of vacuum assisted closure devices, dressings and treatment plans of various wounds. Some of the wounds the models represent are Stage I-IV pressure ulcers, undermining, tunneling, eschar, slough, exposed bone, tendons and ligaments, and suspected deep tissue injury (DTI).
