Abstract:
Introduction: Chronic wounds are defined as wounds were
all kinds of treatment modalities do not lead healing within
6 weeks. 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. The patient should be at the heart of
all decision-making Treating the patient holistically requires
input from everyone on the healthcare team. The term
management comprises all the steps needed to cure wounds
starting from the right diagnosis down to successful treatment
approaches. Studies have shown that only 15 to 40% of the
wound patients receive adequate, modern therapy.
Aim: Implementation new program of education / occupation
for Healthcare services (service of all types wounds continue
to experience growth, partially because of an increase in
the aging population that has more health issues to treat).
Because of this greater demand for care, the nursing field has
a projected growth of 15 percent between 2016 and 2026.
Trend: Specific in the personal or institutional infrastructure
to successfully manage. The network of different medical
specialities (listed above) with an additional knowledge in
wound healing should closely work together with wound
specialized nurses. This means for hospitals that such
an institution should not have multiple wound centers
associated with the different medical specialities, but one
centralised unit. The Center for Wound Healing treats
wounds only. Multidisciplinary/multi professional group of
staff include Doctors: Dermatology, General surgery, Internal
medicine/endocrinology, Orthopaedic surgery, Physical
medicine & rehabilitation, Plastic and reconstructive surgery,
Traumatology, Vascular surgery/angiology. Nurses General
(Pre- and perioperative care, wound care, and patient teach).
The Center will supply the primary physician with requested
information. Should we find it necessary to refer a patient for
further testing or to a specialist not part of our wound care
team, we will contact the primary physician's office. Use of
a wound navigator who acts as advocate for the patients.
They play a vital role in the primary health care workforce,
providing clinical and primary care for individuals, families &
community groups.
Conclusion: Basis on the experience that is whole treatment
of patient and their family is necessary, Wound care team
need new member and new occupations like: Life / Health
Coach, Alternative/Complementary Medicine, Nutritions,
TCM, Qi Gong, Tuina massage, Acupuncture for prevention
risk factor and treatment Chronic wound different etiology. It
goes saying that such a highly specific way to manage chronic
wounds needs a lot of education, knowledge and expertise
which, in its broadness, is not being thought medical
specialization curriculum in a large number of European
national states. A team consists of a group of people who
are working together toward a common goal. A team has
members whose skills complement each other.
