Obviously you can't predict when the wound will be healed. What I usually write is that foley will be removed within 7 days of complete wound healing, or as ordered by MD. Has never been questioned.   Surveyors out there?  What do you think of this? Wishful thinking if a surveyor may answer this. IMHO The survey team has unrealistic expectations... Because wounds heal at their own pace, it's hard to predict exactly when the foley will be removed. Holly's goal does make more sense. I don't see anything wrong with either as long as there would be documentation to show reoval when wound healed.
