Our Mission: Improving patient outcomes and enhancing the quality of life for individuals with chronic wounds.

What are the effects of chronic wounds?

1. Patients

• Prolonged Suffering: Chronic wounds often take months or years to heal, causing persistent pain, discomfort, and immobility.

• Infection Risk: Open wounds are prone to infection, which can lead to sepsis, amputation, or death if not properly managed.

• Quality of Life: They limit independence, affect mental health (depression, anxiety), and can lead to social isolation.

2. Providers

• Resource-Intensive Care: These wounds require frequent monitoring, dressing changes, and often multidisciplinary care (wound specialists, nurses, physical therapists).

• Clinical Challenges: Chronic wounds are often difficult to heal due to underlying conditions like diabetes or vascular disease, requiring complex treatment plans.

• Risk of Liability: Poor wound outcomes (e.g., pressure ulcers acquired in hospitals) can result in legal action or penalties.

3. Healthcare System

• High Cost of Care: Chronic wounds cost the U.S. healthcare system an estimated $28–$96 billion annually due to hospitalizations, procedures, and prolonged care.

• Hospital Readmissions: Poorly managed wounds lead to repeated hospital visits and increased burden on emergency and inpatient services.

• Operational Strain: Managing these patients consumes significant clinical and administrative resources.

4. Medicare

• Financial Burden: A large portion of chronic wound patients are Medicare beneficiaries. Chronic wound care drives up Medicare expenditures significantly.

• Payment Reforms: Medicare has begun linking payment to quality outcomes (e.g., value-based purchasing), making chronic wound outcomes financially significant.

• Regulatory Focus: Poor wound care may result in non-reimbursement under programs targeting
