When to Refer to the Wound Care Center®
Approximately 6 million people (2% of the US population), suffer from chronic non-healing or difficult to heal wounds. The Wound Care Center program is a comprehensive outpatient center designed to complement the physician’s services. Physicians refer patients for outcome based wound management. The referring physician continues to treat their patient for their underlying condition while being kept informed of the patient’s wound care progress.
If a patient’s wound shows no significant sign of improvement in four weeks or fails to heal in 8 weeks, you should contact the Wound Care Center.
