The aim of this qualification paper was to show the importance of recording, monitoring and reporting of pressure ulcers as a nursing care quality indicator. Starting from the existing Form for monitoring pressure ulcers included in the Rule book of nursing documentation, a proposal of the electronic health record structure is proposed with the aim to avid the accumulation of data and provision of quick and easy data access. A pressure ulcer is a major health and social problem. According to literature data, the prevalence of pressure ulcers has not declined despite modern technologies and tools available for prevention. Using data through medical informatics applications (e-Health applications) should be an integral, integrated part of the strategy to improve the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers, and thus reduce its incidence, especially during the hospitalization of the patient. Information technology (IT) applications for monitoring pressure ulcers should allow nurses quick and easy data input using a graphical user interface including monitoring the risk of its occurrence, monitoring of treatment and the preparation of reports. At the same time the application must enable the processing and analysis of data virtually in real time, both for the individual patient and at the top level of organization and management of a hospital. It was pointed out that the electronic record should include digital images of lesions that can be easily and quickly made and stored using today's technology and used for later comparisons, in particular it would be important to make the image together with the scale. The system for monitoring pressure ulcers should be part of the hospital information system and support for decision-making. Data should be regularly analysed and the importance of pressure ulcer as an indicator of the quality of health care should be emphasized and promoted.
