| description | Background . It is a reality of care praxis that it is difficult for healthcare professionals to assess and monitor the local status of wounds objectively and regularly. This study aims to identify the minimum data required to evaluate patients with complex wounds to be incorporated into mHealth. Methods . Descriptive qualitative study, based on thematic analysis, using the online focus group technique. An intentional sample was selected, and two separate sessions were held, attended by 6 experts and 7 nurses. The data were coded by two researchers, with a deductive method, using NVivo software. Results . 5 themes emerged which are described as follows: assessment of patients with complex wounds, distinctive criteria based on the type of wound, flowcharts for approaching patients with wounds, characteristics of a mobile application focused on wound care, and alerts to be included in a mobile health application dedicated to wound treatment. The theme characteristics of a mobile application for approaching the patient with wounds raised 4 subthemes: (1) image, (2) communication, (3) decision‐making, and (4) safety. Conclusion . The use of wound assessment tools provides data capable of generating quality care outcome indicators. These serve as good practice guides, enhancing health gains, whether they are economic or quality‐of‐life improvements. |
