Talking Compression With Your Patient - John Holland | Klose Training KLC 2019

John Holland, Vice President of Absolute Medical, Inc.

When it’s time to select the appropriate compression garment for your patient, open communication is key. Too often, the cost of the garment is not discussed because people are uncomfortable talking about personal finances. Yet, if cost is not brought into the discussion, and the patient later discovers they cannot afford the garment, they may seek out less-expensive but ill-fitting or medically-inappropriate garments. That action will invariably lead to a loss of the improvements achieved during intensive therapy. In this workshop, you will learn how to discuss compression options with your patient to help ensure that they will be able to successfully self-manage their lymphedema for the rest of their lives.
