I am part way through a course at the University of Toronto called the International Interprofessional Wound Care Course, IIWCC for short. I am not a healthcare professional although I have been working in healthcare since 1992. As part of my program I am writing a selective. The title of the selective is 'to demystify ABIs by developing an enabler with support materials for future development and publication.
An ABI is a Ankle Brachial pressure Index (or ABPI), which is a measure of vascular supply to the legs.
The purpose of the selective is to demonstrate the process in the development of the project and I have decided to use this blog to catalogue the development process and also to solicit feedback from other healthcare professionals involved in wound care. I welcome your comments. I plan to add to this blog each week and I would like to post questions, surveys and votes. Finally I plan to attach embedded video and audio links which will help healthcare professionals to conduct ABIs on their patients.
I live in Ontario, Canada.
