The True Cost Of Wounds For Canadians

Résumé fourni par la source

For many wound care providers within Canada getting a handle on the costs associated with their management of chronic wounds is difficult, if not impossible. Based on an approach introduced in the International Wound Journal it is possible to estimate the potential costs of wound care using freely available governmental health data, population statistics and the research findings of many international groups. Using these statistics and a simple formula provides an estimate of the likely costs of wound care within Canada and its provinces and territories.
