Abstract
Working in PPS means that agencies and clinicians must determine which wound care regimen will reach the intended patient goal in the most cost-effective way in terms of supply and visit cost. This article outlines the specific rationale clinicians can use when assessing wounds and choosing the dressing(s) that are appropriate to meet patient and agency goals. Using the performance-based model approach, clinicians learn how to choose dressings based on product price versus treatment costs.Keywords
