Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Concordance rate for the wound and the type of dressing on the Pressure Sore Status Tool (PSST)

Time Frame: 4weeks post-treatment

1. Data collection * The measurement of the size of pressure ulcer * Medical examination;the degree of recovery of pressure ulcer 2. Remote physician monitoring - The patient data was transmitted from the smart-phone to the website via open application programming interface (API) 3. Prescription 4. Data analysis - One plastic surgeon, one Wound Ostomy Continence Nurse(WOCN) and one researcher grossly examined the wound sites of each patient and assessed the pressure ulcer using the revised PSST based on a 4-6 point scale.
