Improving Braden Scale Documentation for Pressure-Injury Risk Assessment: A Closed-Loop Clinical Audit at Dongola Specialized Hospital

This audit demonstrates that targeted education and standardized documentation tools can lead to substantial and statistically significant improvements in Braden Scale documentation. While clinical risk assessment practices improved markedly, persistent gaps in administrative documentation highlight the need for sustained monitoring and system-level reinforcement. Closed-loop clinical audits represent an effective strategy for strengthening pressure-injury risk assessment practices in hospital settings.
