Abstract:
Outpatient wound care centers are often challenged with patients whose wounds have multiple etiologies. These patients require a plan of care that debrides devitalized tissue, promotes wound healing, and addresses underlying factors. Because of the chronic nature of these wounds and the time required for healing, clinicians practicing in ambulatory settings also must coordinate care and appreciate the unique challenges when wound management extends into the home healthcare setting.
