Abstract:
Testing assessment competencies in clinical staff can be a challenge, but testing wound assessment competency is even more difficult. Add to that the Outcome ASsessment Information Set (OASIS) wound questions and it's no wonder that nurses are confused. The VNA, Western Pennsylvania decided to take a unique approach to wound assessment competencies by combining multiple methods of instruction and self-learning followed by a "hands-on" approach to testing.
