ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To form a wound information management scheme with objectivity, standardization, and convenience by means of wound information management system.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A wound information management system was set up with the acquisition terminal, the defined wound description, the data bank, and related softwares. The efficacy of this system was evaluated in clinical practice.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The acquisition terminal was composed of the third generation mobile phone and the software. It was feasible to get access to the wound information, including description, image, and therapeutic plan from the data bank by mobile phone. During 4 months, a collection of a total of 232 wound treatment information was entered, and accordingly standardized data of 38 patients were formed automatically.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>This system can provide standardized wound information management by standardized techniques of acquisition, transmission, and storage of wound information. It can be used widely in hospitals, especially primary medical institutions. Data resource of the system makes it possible for epidemiological study with large sample size in future.</p>
