It is a reasonable idea, although it doesn't solve the "problem" of characters being fully healed after the battle (some may consider this a feature).
You also may want to make the bleeding rules less severe to compensate for the increased time needed to heal. Although leaving the bleeding rules as-is will encourage your players to learn First Aid.
Another consequence of making healing a ritual is suddenly the divine Heal Wound spell becomes extremely useful (as opposed to mostly redundant)

They didn't get to a healer in time, presumably.
