The Pressure Ulcer Management System!
The PUSH Tool is a formula that calculates a score for each Pressure Ulcer or Wound assessment. In the Pressure Ulcer Management System, four items are taken from your documentation, entered into a formula and the automatically calculated total wound score is plotted on a graph for you. The direction of the graph shows if the wound is healing or not. When the total score reaches Zero, the wound is healed. If the score increases, you can react quickly (add pressure relief interventions, change treatments, etc) to reduce healing time and minimize the amount of wound care supplies used.
