Open in new tab Dr. Gates and Dr. Astik are the physician leads for a project aimed at improving wound recognition, prevention and documentation. Please see the one-page informational sheet and word document for key background information and the updated process for all wounds. This initiative will be piloted on the medical floors and MICU, with increased Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Nurse (WONC) hiring underway to ensure adequate staffing to cover this process.
