Examine various guidelines recommending the use of mildly acidic hypochlorous acid vs toxic cleansers and cleansers with highly alkaline pH
Recognize the types of outpatient specific wounds that can be treated with pHA preserved cleanser
Determine how image detection technology can be used to monitor and optimize wound cleansing practices
Identify how pHA can be leveraged to help wound bed preparation and wound healing in the in-patient setting
