چکیده
Attention to underlying wound etiology and factors that affect healing, combined with the TIME Principle for Wound Bed Preparation, can be a powerful model for healthcare providers who manage patients with chronic wounds. Wound bed preparation is an important part of the care process, as is the ability to evaluate and benchmark the effectiveness of individual treatment modalities and the overall quality of care provided within a facility. In addition, assessing performance can fuel a facility's outcomes-based quality improvement (OBQI) program and the ability to benchmark with others can help a facility achieve “best practice” status.
