Dressing change core procedure: a new approach.
The dressing change core procedure has proven advantageous to our clinical staff. It has enhanced the quality of wound care because it is comprehensive, eliminating the need to look up several procedures. Wound care strategies involving new products are readily incorporated as addendums to the core procedure. Additionally, staff and students with varying levels of education and experience can understand the core procedure and apply it to their clinical practice settings. The "core" concept has made the dressing procedure one of the highlights of our skin care program.
