Studies have shown that patients who were cared by a WOC nurses had better outcomes in terms of healing rates compared to patients cared for by other nurses. As CMS transitions to value-based purchasing, the value of WOC nursing is easily identified as facilities and agencies implement best practices to prevent pressure ulcers and catheter-associated urinary tract infections. The emphasis on preventive care is mandated across all care settings. WOC nurses are experts in providing the comprehensive prevention measures and care planning necessary to reduce the frequency of these conditions.
