The Master Algorithm
Evaluation. Management. Prevention.
Learn the fundamental knowledge of wound management, and a model for evaluating wound scoring systems and preventing new and recurrent wounds.
Book Synopsis
MasterMinding Wounds
MasterMinding Wounds is a wound text like no other. It was written for a wide spectrum of wound care providers from physicians/surgeons to physician assistants, from nurse practitioners to registered nurses, and from nursing assistants to wound technicians.
"…easy to read…contains much information presented in a comprehensive, clear manner, and above all, it contains loads of common sense"
How it can change your practice
1. 10 Point Scoring System
With a logical 10-point system for scoring wounds and quantifying progress
2. Five fundamental Strategies
Five fundamental strategies for managing wounds.
3. Wound Healing Compliance
Four approaches for preventing wounds
Wound Innovations
0-10 Wound Scoring
The 0-to-10 point wound scoring system based on five assessment using objective criteria to grade each on a 2-point (optimal situation) to 0-point (gravest situation)
Optimal Management of Wounds
The optimal management of the wound base with five debridement types, minimal invasive surgeries, and serial applications of sutures to progressively reduce the wound area19
Master Algorithm
The utilization of a “Master Algorithm” to guide evaluation (the wound score), guide management (the five treatment strategies), and prevent new and recurrent wounds.
