Local wound dressing formularies reinforce use of clinically appropriate and cost-effective products. The process of creating and maintaining a local wound dressing formulary is a multi-step approach that is time-consuming and discouraging to clinicians. Furthermore, the traditional intranet/print formats limit point-of-care access and interdepartmental dissemination.
WoundReference, in partnership with ELCOS - Portuguese Wound Society, launched interactive digital pocket guides, transforming traditional paper-based guides into a digital suite of clinical pathways for various wound treatments. Hosted in a searchable online library, these pathways are accessible from any internet-enabled device and include videos, checklists, calculators, and documentation templates to support evidence-based decisions and standardize care. This innovative approach aims to optimize wound care and enhance clinical outcomes.
The abstract has been recognized with an award for Practice Innovations. It introduces a versatile framework designed to rapidly implement wound care-specific, role-based competency programs. With staffing shortages emerging as a top patient safety concern, institutions are pressed to onboard new clinicians swiftly and guarantee their competent performance. Our innovative framework facilitates the quick deployment of competency programs, enabling organizations to effectively tackle staffing turnover. This is achieved by reducing the time required for onboarding and enhancing talent retention.
Presenting a roadmap for implementation of team-based interprofessional and telemedicine-based wound care management in post-acute settings This roadmap was crafted by leveraging specialized telemedicine software designed for wound care. The anticipated benefits include improved clinical outcomes, such as timely diagnosis and management, alongside increased revenue through reduced hospitalizations and accurate ICD-10 coding.
WoundReference presented the abstract “A Novel Point-of-care Solution to Streamline Development of Local Wound Care Formularies”.
Local wound care formularies promote clinically appropriate, cost-effective product use, optimizing inventory, decreasing costs and enhancing efficiency. However, their development and maintenance requires a multi-step approach that is time-consuming and discouraging to clinicians. Additionally, traditional formats restrict access at the point of care and interdepartmental sharing.
WoundReference introduced a new mobile-responsive solution to enhance patient adherence: instant personalized product handouts. This initiative is dedicated to creating a tool that enables clinicians to rapidly generate customized handouts for wound care products, incorporating clinical details, coverage, pricing, and supplier information for patients. This mobile-responsive innovation promises to significantly improve patient adherence while saving the clinicians’ time.
