Holistic assessment involves identifying, gathering and interpreting information about the patient and wound to ensure accurate diagnosis, appropriate treatment, ongoing monitoring and prevention of complications. For successful management of patients wounds, physicians need proper understanding of the recovery procedure. The use of a standardized, systematic method of evaluation assists the practitioner in the accurate investigation of the wound, with the general goal of assuring optimal wound healing in addition to patient outcomes.
