WOUND CARE AT FAMILY MEDICINE OFFICE

DRINA PODOBNIK ; Family Medicine Practice, Sveti Ivan Žabno, Croatia

Abstract

Chronic wound is a big load for the patient, family and health care system. A team of family medicine doctors can provide care for chronic wound patient that will eventually lead to complete healing. With good education and proper work organization with defined mandatory changes in prescribing orthopedic tools (sets for compression), chronic wound patients can be completely managed at the primary care level. Such an approach would be possible through better and more efficient communication with secondary health care (wound centers), as well as telemedicine consultations
