Report Purpose
This weekly report provides the clinician with a comprehensive list of all residents currently in the facility and with at least one existing pressure ulcer during the report week, as informed by nurse documentation of weekly pressure ulcer assessments. All ulcers being treated when the report is generated will display. For residents with more than one pressure ulcer, each pressure ulcer will be displayed separately.
Clinicians can use this report to track all residents with pressure ulcers in the facility. This report is also useful for administrators and other management staff interested in at-a-glance information about the number of residents with pressure ulcers on specific nursing units or the facility at large. It also provides a limited set of ulcer details, such as ulcer age and whether the ulcer is improving or at risk for delayed healing. Because the report is not meant to be used on its own to support clinical decisionmaking and care planning regarding pressure ulcer treatment options and interventions, it does not display a wide array of ulcer details.
Report Description
This weekly report displays resident identifiers and information regarding each pressure ulcer, including:
- Days from admission/readmission to ulcer onset.
- Ulcer onset date.
- Ulcer site.
- Ulcer days (number of days since first observed).
- Initial ulcer stage.
- Current ulcer stage.
- Ulcer origin (i.e., present on admission [POA] or in-house acquired [IHA]).
- Ulcer status (no change, improving, or worsening, per nursing judgment).
- Number of treatment orders.
- An indicator for ulcers at risk for delayed healing.
This report can be filtered to display a single nursing unit or to display all residents with pressure ulcer in the facility. Pressure ulcer information that displays is captured from the most recent Pressure Ulcer Assessment. Criteria for identifying pressure ulcers at risk for delayed healing are derived from a review of current pressure ulcer treatment guidelines and discussions with clinical experts and are explained in detail in the following section that describes the Pressure Ulcers At Risk for Delayed Healing Report.
Complete information will display for each ulcer if the pressure ulcer assessment date is less than 10 days prior to report date. If an ulcer is not healed and the assessment date is 10 days or more past the assessment window, the following cells will be blank: ulcer days, most recent assessed ulcer stage, ulcer status, number of treatment changes, and risk for delayed healing indicator (see the example in Table 1 for Resident J).

Report Purpose
The primary use of this weekly report is to help staff identify residents with pressure ulcers showing signs of potential delayed healing. This report is helpful for nursing home staff and wound nurses to promote early identification of pressure ulcers that are not healing in a timely manner. The report brings multiple data elements together in one location to enable monitoring of pressure ulcer healing progress.
Report Description
The Pressure Ulcers At Risk for Delayed Healing Report only displays pressure ulcers at risk for delayed healing. The ulcer details from documentation of weekly pressure ulcer assessment documentation (Pressure Ulcer Assessment) will be displayed on the report as will the reasons the resident is at risk for delayed healing. Ulcer surface area (SA) and the Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool (BWAT) total assessment score display as indicators for ulcer improvement or decline from the current to prior week’s pressure ulcer assessment.
The criteria for delayed healing were derived from the 2014 International Pressure Ulcer Prevention and Treatment Guidelines1 and discussions with clinical experts. The criteria capture indicators of possible infection as well as delayed healing, as any sign of infection in the pressure ulcer may affect healing. Any pressure ulcer with any of the following characteristics will display on the Delayed Healing Report.
- In the past 2 weeks, there has been:
- No change in surface area or an increase in surface area.
- In the past week, there has been:
- An increase in pressure ulcer pain.
- An increase in stage.
- A decline in the quality of granulation tissue (e.g., a wound bed with red beefy tissue becomes pink or dusky).
- The appearance of necrotic tissue when there had been none on the prior assessment.
- The presence of foul odor when there had been none on the prior assessment.
- Increased heat in the skin around the ulcer (i.e., in the periwound).
- Increased induration in the skin around the ulcer.
- Increase in the amount of drainage from the ulcer.
- A worsening in the nature of the ulcer drainage (e.g., new onset of bloody drainage or purulent drainage).
- Increased necrotic tissue in the ulcer bed.
All of the above characteristics are derived from the data elements captured on the Pressure Ulcer Assessment. SA is included to facilitate a standardized comparison of pressure ulcer measurements across time. The BWAT score is included as it provides an alert to subtle changes that may be occurring. A higher score reflects pressure ulcers that may be worsening.
Users and Potential Uses
The wound nurse, wound team, director of nursing, dietitian, medical director, and other clinicians participating in wound rounds or weekly wound reviews use this report. Users and uses of the report are similar to users and uses of the Wound Rounds Report described later.

POA* indicates that the pressure ulcer was present on admission but has gotten worse in ulcer stage since admission.
Report Purpose
The Weekly Wound Rounds Report provides the wound team and other clinicians monitoring resident ulcers with clinical details that could alert the clinician to factors that may affect pressure ulcer healing. For instance, if a resident has an ulcer that is not improving, as evidenced by SA unimproved from the prior week, the clinician or wound team may note that the average meal intake is low and therefore consider dietary consultation. If the report is being used during wound rounds, and if the dietitian attends, the team can discuss this issue immediately and promptly update care plan interventions. If an ulcer appears to be worsening and an increase in urinary or bowel incontinence or a decline in functional status is noted, the team can promptly update rehab and/or restorative nursing interventions.
These details are available at the time the pressure ulcer is being assessed during wound rounds or during weekly wound review meetings with the larger multidisciplinary team. This report information aids decisionmaking and facilitates earlier followup.
Report Description
The Weekly Wound Rounds Report displays resident-specific ulcer information, similar to the Existing Pressure Ulcer Report and Pressure Ulcers At Risk for Delayed Healing Report. It includes details on the characteristics of the pressure ulcer (e.g., ulcer site, initial and most recent stage, length, width, and depth, change in surface area, total treatment changes, and days from admission to ulcer onset).
Additional clinical details that may affect pressure ulcer healing are also included, such as date last seen by physician, last wound clinic date, nutrition details (e.g., vitamin and supplement information with date ordered, average weekly meal intake for the report week), indicators for increase in urinary and bowel incontinence, and most recent temperature. Indicators of a decline in activities of daily living, such as bed mobility, transfer, or toileting, captured from daily nursing assistant charting, also display. Last, the report provides an alert to indicate the ulcer is at risk for delayed healing.
All information on this report is documented within 7 days of the report date.
Users and Potential Uses
The wound nurse, wound team, director of nursing, dietitian, medical director, and other clinicians participating in wound rounds or weekly wound reviews will use this report.

Report Purpose
The Weekly Pressure Ulcer Treatment Summary Report displays a 6-week view of pressure ulcer treatments and characteristics for each individual pressure ulcer. This report provides an at-a-glance view of treatment strategies over time. The wound nurse, wound physician, and other disciplines attending wound rounds can see quickly which treatments have been in effect each week while also reviewing the Weekly Wound Rounds Report. If an ulcer’s surface area is unchanged for 2 consecutive weeks, as noted on the Weekly Wound Rounds Report or the Pressure Ulcers at Risk for Delayed Healing Report, the team can see quickly which treatments and individualized clinical interventions were in effect during this time.
Information that displays on the Weekly Pressure Ulcer Treatment Summary Report, the Weekly Wound Rounds Report, and additional health status details found on the Weekly Resident Clinical, Functional, and Intervention Profile Report2 can generate team discussion and collaboration about the underlying root cause for lack of pressure ulcer healing and support team decisionmaking about the current treatment plan.
Report Description
The Weekly Pressure Ulcer Treatment Summary Report includes descriptive details on the pressure ulcer, including:
- Dimensions, stage, and signs of infection.
- Treatments (e.g., cleansing, dressings, debridement, antimicrobials).
- Possible interventions that facilitate healing (e.g., proper positioning, nutritional supplements, resident/family teaching, limited exposure to moisture).
- Consultations.
- Braden score for predicting pressure ulcer risk.
- Laboratory values.

Report Purpose: On-Time Pressure Ulcer Counts by Month Report
The Pressure Ulcer Counts by Month Report will help clinicians complete internal reports, monitor and analyze pressure ulcer patterns and rates, and develop facilitywide improvement strategies. This report is intended to be run on a monthly basis at the end of each month. The Pressure Ulcer Counts by Month Report allows clinicians to harness their electronic medical record to quickly see the information rather than compiling the information manually each month. This is just one example of how On-Time streamlines workflow and allows better use of clinician time.
The report may be used in combination with other reports for root cause analysis. For example, the Pressure Ulcers At Risk for Delayed Healing Report; Weekly Wound Rounds Report; Resident Clinical, Functional, and Intervention Profile Report; Trigger Summary Report; and Intervention History for Nutrition Risk Reports3 may be used to analyze reasons for delayed healing.
Report Description
The Pressure Ulcer Counts by Month Report compiles pressure ulcer data captured by nurses on the weekly Pressure Ulcer Assessment. This report displays pressure ulcer information for one full calendar month for an entire facility with breakdown of data by nursing unit. Options for pressure ulcer measures for display on the Pressure Ulcer Counts by Month Report and their associated calculations are included in Table 13. Vendors and facilities will work together to determine which measures may be obtained from available data and which measures the facility finds most useful.
Table 13: Pressure Ulcer Measures
Pressure Ulcer Measures | Calculations | |
---|---|---|
Numerator | Denominator | |
Pressure Ulcer Prevalence | Number of residents with at least one pressure ulcer | Number of all current residents |
Residents With New Pressure Ulcers | Number of current residents with a pressure ulcer that developed during the month (this includes residents who had one or more pressure ulcers at the beginning of the month and developed another one as well as residents who did not have a pressure ulcer and developed one) | Number of all current residents |
Pressure Ulcers That Have Declined in Stage (All) | Current pressure ulcers that have worsened in stage | All current pressure ulcers |
Pressure Ulcers That Have Declined in Stage (IHA) | Current IHA pressure ulcers that have worsened in stage | All current IHA pressure ulcers |
Pressure Ulcers That Have Declined in Stage (POA) | Current POA pressure ulcers that have worsened in stage | All current POA pressure ulcers |
Resident Counts | ||
Number of Residents With More Than One Pressure Ulcer (All) | Report the number of current residents with more than one pressure ulcer | |
Number of Residents With More Than One Pressure Ulcer (IHA) |
Report the number of current residents with more than one IHA pressure ulcer | |
Number of Residents With More Than One Pressure Ulcer (POA) | Report the number of current residents with more than one POA pressure ulcer |
Key: IHA = in-house acquired; POA = present on admission.
