						So, let’s sum up! 
						
						
						Chronic wounds require careful assessment and care 
						planning that includes knowing the patient’s background 
						and local wound conditions. Treatment strategies are 
						matched to patient needs, supporting wound healing and 
						quality of life. Guidelines for wound assessment and 
						treatment strategies have been developed based on 
						research and other evidence, and are tied to the type of 
						wound. Varying schemes for the evaluation of evidence in 
						these guidelines make it difficult to compare them 
						directly. More research is required to support best 
						practices, the justification for therapies for efficacy 
						and cost-effectiveness, and the appropriate 
						implementation of treatment strategies.  
						  
						
						
						That concludes the presentation, so it’s time to take 
						the course evaluation and post-test.
						 
						
						
						The organizations that provide this course’s continuing 
						education accreditations, and your credits for this 
						course, require each of you to fill out a course 
						evaluation and to pass the post-test with eight or more 
						correct answers in order to receive CE credit.
