TMCSCC is looking to close the disparity gaps in wound care
A significant number of patients with chronic conditions require intensive wound care services but face barriers to access or lack sufficient benefits for necessary treatments. This disparity affects various populations, particularly those with conditions such as diabetes, venous insufficiency, and limited mobility. Factors contributing to this gap include socioeconomic status, lack of insurance coverage, geographic limitations, and insufficient healthcare infrastructure. Consequently, these patients experience prolonged wound healing times, higher rates of infection and complications, increased hospitalizations, higher rates of amputation, and diminished quality of life. Addressing these barriers is crucial to ensuring equitable healthcare and improving outcomes for all patients in need of intensive wound care.
