The Wound Healing Scale is a user-friendly, descriptive scale for assessing healing in all types of wounds, both acute and chronic. The scale consists of eight alphabetic modifiers that can be combined with the score from a number of different existing scales that assess wounding. The WHS can be utilized with large and small data sets and resolves the problem of reverse staging posed by regular reassessments using the Health Care Financing Administration's Minimum Data Set, version 2.0.
