Abstract:
This article discusses the recently instituted PACT (Prevention Amputation Care and Treatment) program now being used at the Cleveland Veterans Affairs Medical Center. This program is a multidisciplinary interventional prevention strategy that includes both physical and psychosocial components, addressing the long-term after-care for patients postamputation and preventive interventions for those at risk.
