Assessment & Planning
Baseline staging, perfusion/edema review, moisture balance, and a goal‑driven care plan with regular re‑evaluation.
Baseline staging, perfusion/edema review, moisture balance, and a goal‑driven care plan with regular re‑evaluation.
Conservative sharp debridement with pain control and aseptic technique to remove non‑viable tissue.
Dressings and frequency tailored to maintain ideal moisture and protect periwound skin.
Bioburden reduction strategies and escalation criteria when infection is suspected.
Positioning, splints, and device guidance to reduce pressure and shear.
Compression and elevation guidance to control swelling and improve perfusion.
Consistent documentation to visualize progress and inform timely adjustments.
Collaboration with home health, SNFs, and primary/specialty providers to keep everyone aligned.
Clear instructions for patients and caregivers to support adherence and outcomes.
