Development and implementation of an advanced wound management class: preparing for OASIS-C

Abstract

This article explains the process of developing a 10-week course entitled Advanced Wound Management, in preparation for the implementation of Outcome and Assessment Information Set-C (OASIS-C). The impetus for choosing wound management was the result of a Needs Assessment completed by the nursing staff. The wound management learning needs identified by the clinicians in the Needs Assessment were aligned with the organization's goal to prepare for OASIS-C.
