Quality wound care equals cost-effective wound care: a clinical model.

The cost of wound care is often defined as the cost of materials and labor, ignoring the effect of both variables on outcome. As a result, money-saving measures may actually increase cost while reducing the quality of care. Definitions and tools to enable professionals to understand, evaluate and compare the cost-effectiveness of wound care practices and treatment modalities are given.

Research & writing basics: elements of the abstract.

Writing an abstract is a challenging skill that requires precision and care. Criteria for well-formulated abstracts and abstract guidelines for 2 types of articles (empirical studies and reviews or theoretical articles) as well as a description of the content of a structured abstract are presented. Details were gleaned from a review of the literature including the American Medical Association Manual of Style, Eighth Edition and the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, Fourth Edition. A good abstract is like a crystal: it is a clear, sharp synthesis that elucidates meaning for the reader.
