Remember, the goal is to find solutions – and not just to complain. The FDA is listening so let’s provide useful, thoughtful input.

Eventually the FDA will generate a document to synthesize what they learned, but in the meantime, everyone has access to this incredible 2 day workshop for free.

Today’s Wound Clinic and the HMP Global Network have created topic centers which are a goldmine of information on relevant topics through the lens of wound management.

I am not sure what the way forward IS, but there’s finally a groundswell of recognition that we have a problem.

The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) has released a report concluding what we clinicians already knew – that the prior authorization (PA) process of some Medicare Advantage Organizations (MAO) delays medically necessary care that is covered under Medicare rules.

Rarely have clinicians, researchers and manufacturers had the opportunity to discuss evidence and coverage issues face-to-face with payers, together with Federal regulators & policymakers – at the same time and around the same table.

Everyone in the field of wound management NEEDS to know about the threats to patient access. There are a LOT of them, and they are always out there.

Join me Friday June 10th for the Northwell Health conference “Shining the Light on Wound Care”. I will be speaking about the vascular origin of pressure injuries!

The Alliance of Wound Care Stakeholders Wound Care Evidence Summit is just under a month away!

You can bet that after what he went through, Job never looked at life the same way again.
