ConceptWaterlow Score
DescriptionThe Waterlow Score is a tool used to assess the risk of a person developing a pressure sore or ulcer.
UseUse to record details of a Waterlow Score, normally in conjunction with a more general clinical assessment of pressure sore risk. While openEHR archetypes are all freely available under an open license, the specific content of this Waterlow Score archetype is copyright protected.

Copyright information: http://www.judy-waterlow.co.uk/waterlow-disclaimer.htm.
PurposeTo record the individual elements and overall score of the Waterlow Score (or Scale), for the purpose of estimating the risk of a person developing a pressure sore or ulcer.
