Key Messages
• Evidence based wound care is required to reduce practice variation.
• The WOUND COMPASS Clinical Support App (CSA) supports wound
assessment and guides appropriate selection of wound products from the
facilities product formulary, at the point of care.
• Wound Specialist and Non-Wound Specialists indicated both competence
and confidence in wound assessments were enhanced with the use of CSA.
• CSA enabled reduction in practice variation due to greater compliance to
the facilities product formulary
