Wundmanagement und Wunddokumentation

Documentation is an increasingly important part of daily work in nursing. The requirements, such as quality management, laws, and expert standards, are becoming more complex and are continually growing. Often, only the "what" is described, but not the "how" of documentation. In legal disputes, the principle applies: "What is not documented has not been done." This book assists the reader in providing as objective a description as possible of chronic wounds and their healing process. It offers foundational knowledge in anatomy and physiology, information on legal frameworks and quality management, types of wounds, forms of wound healing, modern wound management, as well as wound documentation with tools and worksheets, including photo and computer-assisted methods.
