Professionalization of nursing responsibilities in wound management by academization: From an accompanying nursing to evidence-based healing-related activities

Publication date: July 2013 Source:Wound Medicine, Volume 1 Author(s): Friederike Rösner In this article we want to point out why more and more people in Germany suffer from chronic wounds and what causes may underlie. Furthermore, the different levels of care in wound management and its spillover in trans-sectoral, interprofessional and interdisciplinary form will be described and the typical, inherent problems of the different partners in wound management in Germany will be mentioned. The discussion about the professionalization of nursing is an important topic, this includes the demand for university training, with the complete performance of the PISA criteria. Already now many medical tasks in wound management were executed by nurses, without being formally or legally assured in a sufficient way. In order to guarantee a safe and professional pursuit of these activities it seems indispensable to extend the knowledge of the caregivers about evidence-based interventions in wound care and it is necessary to install a legal framework which offers the opportunity to assign these medical work. We would like to work out if §63 paragraph 3 c SGB V offers the opportunity to realize a pilot project.
