Assess, Screen, & Report
Join us on June 11, 2026, at 11:30 am PST, for the 2026 webinar update
2025 webinar available upon registration
Learn the 3-step process to save feet and prevent amputations.
Coach Beverly will walk participants through the 3-Step Process to Save Feet: Assess, Screen, and Report. She will provide simple and clear instructions on how to assess and inspect feet, along with risk assessment and action steps. We will share free teaching tools, strategies, and documentation forms adapted from the Lower Extremity Prevention Program (LEAP) that you can immediately implement in your practice setting.
According to a 2019 article published in Diabetes Care, the rate of amputations in the U.S. is increasing. Each year, people with diabetes experience approximately 200,000 non-traumatic amputations. African Americans are 4 times more likely to experience diabetes-related amputation than whites. In the United States, every 17 seconds someone is diagnosed with diabetes, and every day 230 Americans with diabetes will suffer an amputation.
We can make a difference and help reverse this trend. Basic foot care assessment and education can reduce the risk of amputation by over 50 percent. By assessing and screening for loss of protective sensation with a monofilament, diabetes healthcare professionals can immediately identify high-risk feet and take steps to protect lower extremities.
Course Topics:
- Describe steps involved in effective foot assessment made easy
- Demonstrate how to use a monofilament to assess sensation
- Discuss the use of screening forms to report findings
Course Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Apply current standards of care and evidence-based guidelines to develop and adjust individualized treatment plans in complex diabetes cases.
- Conduct comprehensive assessments, such as foot risk evaluations and social determinants of health, to inform prevention and care planning in high-risk populations.
What's Included:
- 1.5 CE credits (AMA PRA Category 1™, ACPE, ANCC, CDR accredited)
- On-demand course with video presentation, podcast, and downloadable resources
- Free teaching tools, strategies, and documentation forms adapted from the Lower Extremity Prevention Program (LEAP)
- 1 full year of access to all course materials
- Activity dates: 8/12/2025 to 8/12/2027
- Estimated completion time: 1 hour and 30 minutes
Expert Instructor: Beverly Thomassian, RN, MPH, CDCES, BC-ADM, brings extensive expertise in diabetes foot care, amputation prevention, and comprehensive health assessment.
Perfect for: RNs, RDNs, pharmacists, providers, and healthcare professionals seeking to enhance their foot assessment skills and implement life-saving amputation prevention strategies in clinical practice
