The wound care quality tool is not a protocol, but a workable, practice-based tool to organise wound care in nursing homes safely, consistently and efficiently. Care organisations can obtain it under a licence.
I am not a wound care nurse. Even so, wound care has had my attention for years. In many organisations I see how difficult it is to arrive at a fixed and lasting wound care policy. Every shift works slightly differently, the reporting is fragmented and good agreements fade again as soon as the team changes. That is why I developed the wound care quality tool.
Protocols and guidelines describe what needs to happen. In practice the question is often: how do you organise that so everyone does it the same way every day? That is what the wound care quality tool is for. It helps a nursing home organise wound care safely, consistently and efficiently, in line with the protocols that are already in place.
Care organisations can obtain the wound care quality tool under a licence and then use it themselves in their teams. If you would like to know what the licence involves and whether the tool suits your organisation, please get in touch. In an introductory meeting I am happy to show you how it works.
Good wound care and good reporting go together. Reporting according to a fixed structure, such as SOAP, makes the progress of a wound visible to every colleague. Improving wound reporting and agreeing a wound care protocol in the team also tie in with this.
The tool and reporting according to SOAP contribute to the quality care of your organisation. If you work with a quality nurse, I am happy to think along about how I can support that work. You can read more about this at working with the quality nurse.
I help with this through quality improvement and wound care and reporting. Want to know what that means for your organisation? Schedule an introduction.
Put three reports on the same wound side by side, written by three different colleagues. Are they easy to compare? If not, you know where the gains lie.
No. It is a workable, practice-based tool to organise wound care in nursing homes safely, consistently and efficiently. It fits in with the protocols your organisation already uses.
Care organisations can obtain the tool under a licence. Get in touch and we will discuss what that means for your organisation.
No. I am a nurse with extensive practical experience. For complex wounds the advice of a wound care nurse or doctor remains leading.
I am happy to drop by for a coffee to discuss your question.
