Background:

  • Evaluating clinical staff competency, particularly in wound assessment, presents significant challenges.
  • The complexity of wound assessment is amplified by specific documentation requirements like the Outcome Assessment Information Set (OASIS) wound questions, leading to nurse confusion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the difficulties in testing wound assessment competency among clinical staff.
  • To develop and implement an effective strategy for evaluating nurses' wound assessment skills, incorporating OASIS requirements.

Main Methods:

  • A unique, multi-modal instructional approach combining various teaching methods and self-learning opportunities.
  • A practical, "hands-on" component was integrated for the direct assessment of wound assessment skills.

Main Results:

  • The study implemented a novel strategy to enhance the evaluation of wound assessment skills.
  • The approach integrated diverse learning methods with practical application to improve competency testing.

Conclusions:

  • The developed strategy offers a unique and effective solution to the challenges of testing wound assessment competency.
  • This multi-method approach, including hands-on testing, can help clarify complex requirements like OASIS for nurses.
