Value of Healing

Faculty: William Ennis D.O. FACOS, Leah Amir, MS, MHA

Description:What is the value of healing? Within the construct of an ailing healthcare system, aging population, non-specific training criteria for wound care practitioners, and limited economic resources, this question has many answers depending on who is responding. This session will provide a brief overview of the current healthcare system in which wound care is delivered, followed by a more detailed look at the “value” of healing the clinician, healthcare system, payor, patient, and society overall using a specific wound care issue as a model. Innovative potential solutions for the future of wound care will be presented for comment, challenge, and dialogue.
