he Critical Role of Nutrition in Pressure Injury Care: 

Frank Aviles Joins ANHI Webinar

When it comes to pressure injury prevention and healing, wound care professionals know that successful outcomes require a multifaceted approach. While we often focus on wound bed preparation, offloading, and advanced dressings, one critical element deserves equal attention: nutrition.

On November 18, 2025, Frank Aviles, PT, CWS, FACCWS, CLT-LANA, ALM, AWCC, MLD/CDT, will join Katie Robinson, PhD, MPH, RD, LD, Manager of Medical Science Liaison at Abbott Nutrition, for a FREE continuing education webinar that bridges the gap between wound care and nutritional science.

What You’ll Learn

This timely webinar, “Strategic Interventions for Pressure Injuries: Prioritizing Nutrition During Post-Acute Transitions of Care,” will explore:

Revised Standards of Practice The 2025 scope and standards of practice for registered dietitian nutritionists in post-acute and long-term care settings bring updated guidance for optimizing patient outcomes.

Key Nutrition Considerations Understanding how to assess nutritional status, identify at-risk patients, and implement evidence-based interventions specifically for pressure injury care.

Real-World Applications Through a case-study approach, participants will learn to identify nutritional challenges and implement practical solutions during critical transitions of care—when patients are most vulnerable to gaps in treatment.

A Collaborative Approach to Patient Care

What makes this webinar particularly valuable is its interdisciplinary focus. Effective pressure injury management requires collaboration between wound care specialists, dietitians, nurses, and the entire healthcare team. By understanding the nutritional aspects of wound healing, wound care professionals can:

  • Better communicate with dietitians and nutrition staff
  • Recognize nutritional red flags in their patients
  • Advocate for appropriate nutritional interventions
  • Support continuity of care during transitions
  • Improve overall patient outcomes
