You can record a wound observation at any time from a resident’s profile. Each entry flows through to the wound chart in the web application and forms part of the ongoing record. The next review date you set triggers an activity in the app, prompting staff to review the wound regularly.
📌 Note: The wound chart is fully client‑configurable. You can customise fields, add additional options, and tailor how wound information is captured. All wound data is also available within the analytics dashboards in the web application.
Follow along with our video guide.
