Abstract:
Introduction: Wounds are a major problem to patients and
health care systems. 5%-8% of the world population suffers
from venous diseases. Patient is in the focus, who suffer when
they have a wound. We must always treat the whole patient,
not just the hole in the patient. A team consists of a group of
people who are working together toward a common goal. A
new and promising development is the use of telemedicine
that enables the exchange of information about the patient
condition and treatment choices between patients and
professionals, the implementation of these technologies in
wound care may provide opportunities to improve patient
care and save health care cost.
Aim: Application view - referral route of wound care definition:
Workflow: The sequence of industrial, administrative, or
other processes through which a piece of work passes from
initiation to completion. Information storage operations can
involve complex or repetitive user tasks and system processes
- in workflows that migrate across multiple platforms.
1. Primary health care: General Practitioner or Family doctor
Roles: Administration worker (nurse etc.) Specialist for other
specializations: Administration of patient, made by any
employee in system, nurse etc. Obligation for administration is
to enter data of patient: Identification of patient. Register data
of patient. Modify data of patient. Taking short anamnesis
data of patient. Structure of application enable taking of
patient medical photos and other relevant documents.
"Wound manager" Program. Adding information to medical
record of patient. Register/adding previous health history of
patient. Managing time slots for specialist Registering control
examinations.
2. Wound Centre: Multidisciplinary Team: Possibility to
make one result, which include all findings (discharge letter).
Paper less workflow. Complete track of every case diagnosis.

regarding with other specialist. Information of take over
therapy. Complete track of every therapy. Sharing results with
other teams. Legal transparency for medical information.
Continuously following patient data. Red mark for any result
out of allowed. Referral to outpatient department. Referral
to inpatient department. Possibility of control patient status
in outpatient/ inpatient cases. BI reporting possible on each
level.
3. Home care, Social care: After patient finish this workflow, he
finished one circle treatment of wounds. Control examination
is beginning of new episode for treatment in the same case.
As much control examination patient have it, application
follow same rules/roles.
Conclusion: 21st Century Medicine “Patient Centered
Care“. Synthetised Model for teaching and practice. Chronic
care model “Global Health Care“. Prevention. Life Style
modification. Patient Education Emprovement. “Health is
