his article aims to show the positive outcomes and
advantages of taking a combined dressing approach
to yellow-looking ulcers manifesting on elderly residents.
As part of aiding the nursing staff at old age homes around
Jerusalem we used a tele-medicine system to give consults
regarding wounds. Every time a nurse was presented with a
wound, she would send a picture and medical information of
the patient to the consulting team. We collected 10 patient
cases for this paper, after they showed a quick and positive
healing rate, together with a high patient satisfaction score.
By showing the medical staff the advantages of honey gel and
hydrocolloids, we were able to build trust between the staff
and our organization, together with shortening treatment
period with good outcomes. In the Israeli community setting,
creating a consulting team that does not belong to a specific
HMO, can benefit both the wellbeing of the patient and the
overall management of health at the old-age homes.
