Hello! I am new to home health and OASIS assessments... Can someone please explain the difference between granulated vs epithelialized vs not healing? I'd really appreciate it, thank you!!! :)

If you need further explanation, epithelialization is new skin and granulation is the pink/red beefy tissue with buds (sort of like the surface of the tongue).

I don't believe granulized is an accepted wound descriptor. I think only granulate, granular, granulated or granulation.

surgical wounds healing by primary intention can only be "newly epithialized" or "not healing".
