Abstract
Delivery of wound care in many skilled nursing facilites remains highly variable and fragmented. Despite this lack of coordinated care, the population residing in skilled nursing facilites remains vulnerable to developing complex wounds due to the preponderance of comorbid diabetes, atherosclerosis, venous insufficiency, protein malnutrition, and limited mobility. In addition, pressure ulcers rates remain a key determinant in auditing skilled nursing facilities and thus have a direct impact on their financial viability. As such, a comprehensive organized approach to complex, chronic wounds is necessary to improve clinical outcomes and contain costs.
