WOUND MANAGEMENT AT THE AKH - MEDICAL UNIVERSITY CAMPUS VIENNA, CERTIFICATION AND POSTGRADUATE EDUCATION

Summary/Abstract: Introduction: During the practice of the University Clinics AKH Vienna great qualitative differences in the treatment and care of patients with wounds have been noticed in the recent past. The aim was to systematically implement the Expert Standard "Nursing of People with Chronic Wounds" (Panfil et al., 2015) into the practice of this University Hospital (Kozon, Fortner, 2015). This hospital has more than 100 specialist departments with approx. 1900 beds and approx. 1500 doctors and approx. 3000 nurses work in it. Methods and Results: During the years 2009 – 2018, AKH Vienna systematically implemented the Expert Standard (Kozon, 2016). Based on auditing measurements, we have empirically verified success in the clinical departments where the largest number of patients with chronic wounds were. The five departments audited achieved a score higher than 76% and were awarded a multidisciplinary certificate. The content and purpose of the Wound Management Certificate at AKH Vienna is to ensure: 1. Objective diagnosis of patient wounds, 2. Clear determination of the nursing and treatment plan, 3. Coordination of interprofessional process management, 4. Phase-oriented wound care, 5. Advice and training of patients, 6. Evaluation of overall interventions. Conclusion: Some processes and results can be standardized and certified, but the overall importance and impact of certification must always be taken into account.
