[Protocol for the evaluation and treatment of chronic wounds in the home care setting].
In 2001, it became evident that the domiciliary care nurses needed a tool to assist them in treating patients with chronic wounds. A protocol was therefore developed which could be used not only by the nurses but also by doctors and other health care professionals working in home care. As a parallel measure, a network of nurses specialised in wound care and available for advice and consultation was established.
