Improve diagnostic accuracy and interdisciplinary communication in post-acute care with PAWSIC’s latest Skin Failure Clinical Assessment Guide. 

This evidence-informed tool helps clinicians differentiate between pressure injuries and various forms of skin failure—including acute, chronic, and end-stage skin failure—based on systemic conditions and hypoperfusion. 

The guide outlines definitions, nursing diagnoses, documentation standards, and care planning strategies. Ideal for wound care nurses, providers, and compliance teams seeking regulatory clarity and patient-centered documentation practices.
