Wound Surveillance, enabling evidenced-based practice
Accurate assessment of a wound (ulcer) over the treatment period is critical to the successful treatment of patients and optimising patient experience and outcomes.
Current methods of wound assessment are reported as flawed and unreliable:
- Highly subjective
- Reliant on visual inspection
- Wound images often not captured routinely
- Manual, time-consuming assessment tools
- Paper-based data is not easy to share across care team
- High variance reported in wound assessment methods and skills
- Acetate/measure rulers/probes involve contact with wound or patient
There is a now a new digital wound assessment approach available which transforms the standards of wound assessment and the resulting quality and objectivity of wound data available to wound care specialists and healthcare practitioners.
