Proactive, Not Reactive: A Better Approach to Wound Care

Proactive, Not Reactive: A Better Approach to Wound Care High-performing facilities don’t “catch up” to wounds — they prevent them from worsening. Mikhail Novikov, MD explains more in this video. Many pressure injuries begin in the hospital, where critically ill patients are medically unstable and skin may not be prioritized. What matters most is what happens at admission to the nursing facility. A proactive wound care approach includes: -Recognition at Admission: Every patient receives a thorough skin assessment to identify existing ulcers early. -Clear Nursing Protocols: Staff follow a defined plan for documentation, dressing selection, repositioning, and reassessment. -Defined Consultation Triggers: Facilities determine in advance when to involve a wound care specialist — before deterioration occurs. A reactive approach means addressing a wound only after it has progressed to infection, bone involvement, or systemic complications. That is not best practice. Proactive structure leads to earlier intervention, better healing outcomes, and lower risk for patients — and for the facility. Your skin deserves the best attention.
