OBJECTIVE: To assess the clinical impact and acceptance of an infection management (IM) pathway, designed to improve the consistency of care of wound infection when introduced, and supported by an educational programme. METHOD: An education and evaluation programme (T3 programme) was-conducted in Portugal, Spain and Italy. This consisted of a two-hour educational, virtual seminar, followed by a four-week evaluation of an IM pathway during which survey data were collected on the impact of this pathway on clinician-selected patients. Finally, all participants reconvened for a virtual meeting during which the combined results were disseminated. The pathway provided guidance to clinicians regarding the targeted use of antimicrobial wound dressings according to the presence and absence of signs and symptoms of wound infection. RESULTS: Responses relating to 259 patients treated according to the IM pathway, 139 (53.7%) of whom had received previous antimicrobial treatment, were captured. Signs and symptoms of infection resolved within four weeks of treatment in >90% of patients. All 25 patients who had received prior antimicrobial treatment for ≥3 months experienced a resolution in the signs and symptoms of infection within four weeks. The majority of participating clinicians agreed that the IM pathway improved decision-making (94.9%) and confidence (97.3%), and helped to determine the correct antimicrobial treatment (91.4%) in the context of wound infection. CONCLUSION: The T3 programme was an efficient way to deliver a structured educational programme. The use of the IM pathway resulted in >90% of patients achieving resolution of their signs and symptoms of wound infection.
