      ab: Patients who require treatment for complications stemming from skin and wound care conditions represent a significant and costly clinical problem in the health care arena.

A review of the literature supports the role of the WOC nurse in providing quality care, minimizing the expenditure of health care dollars, and overseeing the use of pressure ulcer and wound care guidelines so that litigious events may be avoided.
