Abstract:
Precise wound classification is essential for surgical site infection risk stratification and appropriate hospital reimbursement. We instituted a multifaceted approach to improve institutional wound class identification including an education and awareness bundle, as well as a formal audit process. Overall, we saw significant improvements in wound class accuracy, interprofessional collaboration and provider compliance.
