Abstract

The use of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) for documentation in long term care has resulted in the widespread reliance on reverse staging to document the healing of pressure and venous ulcers. This article presents a pragmatic approach for defining the healing process in a staging nomenclature so that it is physiologically accurate.

Guidelines for guidelines.

Practice guidelines are proliferating in medicine. In addition to methodological problems that cause guidelines to be outdated rapidly, they are plagued by conflicts of interest. They are largely consensus opinions of panels of experts, most of whom are supported by industry. Professional societies, health insurers, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and dialysis providers also benefit from guidelines. Little attention is paid to the potential for harm to patients, and to the profession of medicine, from the widespread use of guidelines.
