Risk Assessment
An Easy-To-Follow Protocol
WoundRounds uses the Braden Scale for Predicting Pressure Sore Risk to make risk assessment easy. The screen displays step-by-step prompts to help nurses accurately gauge a patient’s risk for developing pressure ulcers. An intuitive menu makes it simple to electronically capture patient status data — including sensory perception, moisture, activity, mobility, nutrition, friction and shear.
