SUMMARY:SCAHRM October Webinar: Medically Unpreventable Wounds Presented by Dr. Caroline Fife
DESCRIPTION:SCAHRM is excited to announce our October Webinar:\nPresented by Dr. Caroline Fife\nLearning Objectives\n1. Understand the “inside-out” mechanism of severe pressure injuries due to vascular infarction\n2. Discuss the implications for creating better pressure injury mitigation strategies\n3. Identify practical ways to reduce legal risk around medically unpreventable events \nSession Summary\nSevere pressure injuries\, misleadingly called “never events” and incorrectly touted as being preventable with optimal nursing care\, are often the result of tissue infarctions due to systemic hemodynamic factors rather than prolonged external pressure on the capillaries. These “inside-out” injuries—especially deep tissue injuries (DTIs) and Stage 4 ulcers—are often ischemic events involving specific named arteries (angiosomes) which are proximal to the area of visible tissue injury. Observations of pressure injuries occurring without direct local pressure challenge the traditional view and underscore the role of compromised perfusion in their formation. Despite best practices in skin care\, nutrition\, repositioning\, and support surfaces\, a persistent 10–20% prevalence of pressure ulcers remains\, highlighting the limitations of current prevention protocols. The legal and regulatory environment continues to hold clinicians accountable under the assumption that all pressure ulcers are preventable\, creating a disconnect between policy and pathophysiology. Recognition of this vascular paradigm demands a shift toward prevention strategies that address tissue perfusion and may enable us to create objective definitions of medical unpreventability. Without reframing pressure injuries as medically unpreventable ischemic events in some cases\, risk management efforts may misdirect resources and perpetuate clinical and legal injustice. \nSpeaker\n \nCaroline E. Fife\, MD\nProfessor of Geriatrics\, Baylor College of Medicine\, Houston\, TX\, CMO Intellicure LLC\nUHMS\nDr. Caroline Fife is a nationally recognized expert in wound care and real-world evidence research. She completed a Family Medicine residency at the University of Texas\, Southwestern in Dallas\, followed by a two-year fellowship in Environmental Medicine at Duke University. For 23 years she was a Professor of Medicine at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston\, where she served as Medical Director of the inpatient Wound and Ostomy program and established both the Memorial Hermann Center for Wound Healing and the Lymphedema Treatment Center. She now serves as a Professor of Geriatrics at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston and as the Chief Medical Officer of Intellicure\, LLC.\, a health information technology company which she co-founded. She is the Executive Director of the U.S. Wound Registry (USWR)\, a non-profit organization recognized by CMS as a Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR) which has developed a suite of CMS-recognized wound-care relevant quality measures. She co-developed the Wound Healing Index\, a risk stratification model which\, on the first patient visit\, can predict the likelihood that a given wound will heal. One model can reliably predict the likelihood of pressure ulcer healing\, allowing practitioners to report pressure ulcer healing rates to Medicare based on severity factors that include the level of illness of the patient. \nShe has made major contributions to the understanding of pressure ulcer formation\, particularly through her work demonstrating that many pressure injuries originate from infarctions of named arteries – an “inside-out” process known as angiosomal ischemia. This perspective reframes traditional thinking about pressure ulcer formation and prevention\, shifting attention from surface pressure alone to underlying circulatory factors. \nDr. Fife serves on the boards of the Alliance of Wound Care Stakeholders (past co-chair)\, the Critical Limb Ischemia Global Society\, and the American Diabetes Association’s Amputation Prevention Alliance. She co-chairs the Real-World Evidence Work Group for the Wound Care Collaborative Community and has previously held leadership positions with the American Academy of Wound Management\, the Association for the Advancement of Wound Care\, and the American Professional Wound Care Association. She has authored more than 100 peer-reviewed publications and book chapters\, edited three textbooks\, and led key research projects including the development of real-time lymphatic imaging in collaboration with Dr. Eva Sevick. Her current research focuses on leveraging real-world data for comparative effectiveness studies to identify the most effective treatments for patients with chronic wounds and ulcers. \nDate: Thursday\, October 9\, 2025\nTime: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM (PST)\nCost: $20 for Members | $35 for Non-Members\nRegister Today!\n  \n\nSCAHRM is approved by the California State Bar as an MCLE Multiple Activity Provider (MAP #18946) and a Continuing Education Provider by the California Board of Nursing (CEP #10552).\n\n\nThis activity qualifies for 1.0 MCLE credit hour and 1.0 BRN continuing education contact hours. This meeting is pending approval for a total of 1.0 contact hours of Continuing Education Credit toward fulfillment of the requirements of ASHRM designations of FASHRM (Fellow) and DFASHRM (Distinguished Fellow) and towards CPHRM renewal. Application for continuing education toward CPHRM\, FASHRM\, and DFAHSM.\n\n\n\nPlease note: No refunds are given for cancellation or non-attendance.

SUMMARY:SCAHRM December Webinar: Falls: From the Ground Up
DESCRIPTION:SCAHRM is excited to announce our December Webinar:\nPAMELA JOHNSON RN BSN CPHRM\nLearning Objectives\n\n\n\n Identify areas for potential falls in healthcare settings\n Bust myths about falls\n Risk mitigation strategies for fall prevention\n\n\n\nSession Summary\nFalls are not limited to elderly or frail patients—anyone can experience a fall under the right conditions. Misunderstandings about who is at risk often lead to insufficient prevention strategies and overlooked warning signs. In both ambulatory and inpatient settings\, common risk factors include mobility limitations\, medication side effects\, and unfamiliar surroundings. Environmental and procedural issues such as poor lighting\, cluttered walkways\, and inconsistent rounding practices further elevate the risk. Evidence-based prevention strategies—like regular risk assessments\, use of assistive devices\, and individualized care plans—are essential. Staff training\, patient education\, and workflow adjustments play a critical role in reducing fall incidents. A proactive approach that includes comprehensive risk mitigation strategies helps ensure safer care environments across all healthcare settings. \nSpeaker\n \nPAMELA JOHNSON RN BSN CPHRM\nSenior Manager\, Practice Quality and Facilities\nCopic\nPamela Johnson brings over 18 years of experience in healthcare risk management\, with a focus on medical malpractice liability and patient safety across both insurance and large healthcare system settings.

SUMMARY:“Too Busy to Be Burned Out!” - The Risk Professional’s Journey to Balance and Well-Being
DESCRIPTION:  \nRisk professionals face relentless professional and personal demands\, and balance often feels out of reach. Burnout has become a frequent topic in risk management circles\, but often goes unaddressed personally until it becomes critical. This creates a paradox: many are “too busy to be burned out\,” yet too burned out to sustain their work. This session tackles that reality with a blend of acknowledged best practices and candid personal insight. Gregg Timmons shares his own journey through imposter syndrome\, emotional exhaustion\, and severe burnout during and after the pandemic—driven in part by his own self-imposed rules. His story of recovery highlights what it takes to confront burnout with honesty and fortitude. Participants will explore practical strategies for managing their own “personal and professional risks” through balancing professional demands\, preventing exhaustion\, and building resilience. The session ultimately invites attendees to re-evaluate their professional well-being and uncover the drivers that matter most for a more balanced\, fulfilling career – and life. \n  \nLearning Objectives: \nUpon completion of this session\, participants will: \n\nRecognize common professional demands and self-imposed rules that contribute to the paradox of being “too busy to prevent burnout.”\nDescribe effective strategies for addressing burnout and building resilience\, such as coaching\, self-care\, or mindfulness.\nDevelop a personal action plan that re-evaluates professional well-being\, explores personal and professional motivational drivers\, and prioritizes resilience for a sustainable career.\n\nSpeaker:\n \n\n\nGregg Timmons\, JD\, RN\, MA\, CPHRM\, FASHRM is the founder and principal of Mahina Honu Consulting\, where he draws on more than four decades of experience spanning nursing\, law\, healthcare risk management\, patient safety\, and organizational leadership. His career has included leadership roles within healthcare systems\, professional liability and captive insurance programs\, and national healthcare consulting. He is a past president of the California Society for Healthcare Risk Management (CSHRM) and currently serves as president of the Hawaii Association for Healthcare Risk Management (HAHRM). \nGregg is a longtime educator and speaker on healthcare risk management\, patient safety\, and professional well-being. He has presented at ASHRM national conferences in 2006\, 2009\, and 2016\, as well as for state and regional healthcare risk management organizations nationwide. In July 2026\, he presented his program on burnout and healthcare professionals as a national ASHRM webcast. His presentations combine healthcare risk management experience with practical insights into the human factors that influence resilience\, professional identity\, and the way healthcare professionals respond to sustained workplace stress. \n\n\nDate: Thursday\, August 27\, 2026\nTime: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM (PST)\nCost: $20 for Members | $35 for Non-Members\nRegister Today!\n  \n\nSCAHRM is approved by the California State Bar as an MCLE Multiple Activity Provider (MAP #18946) and a Continuing Education Provider by the California Board of Nursing (CEP #10552).\n\n\n\nThis activity is approved for 1.0 MCLE credit hour and 1.0 BRN continuing education contact hours.

Attendees will learn which AI models are currently available and used in medicine\, how the standard of care applies to AI use in clinical settings\, and what current and emerging laws may shape the future of AI in medicine.
