Improvement in the Status of Surgical Wounds
Improvement in the status of surgical wounds outcome is demonstrated by an increase in the percentage of patients who demonstrate an improvement in the condition of surgical wounds. Higher percentages are better.
A wound is the presence of any wound resulting from a surgical procedure. Each wound site is a possible entrance for bacteria. Wound infections and other complications that prevent or slow healing create additional pain and discomfort. Furthermore, recovery costs increase due to additional supplies and skilled visits. Appropriate treatment with subsequent wound healing will improve the patient's safety and health.
