Administrative Symposium

The Business of Running a Hospital-Based Wound and Limb Salvage Center:

Breaking Down the Barriers and Navigating the Challenges

The National and Financial Impact

of Wound Care on the

Health Care System

Page 3: Dls Winger Ppt Ppt

Goals For Today

• Outline the national and financial impact of wound care

• Discuss financial strategies/options to provide wound care including: – Understanding the cost of care– the financial commitment necessary

to operate a wound care center

Page 4: Dls Winger Ppt Ppt

A Growing Need:

• Aging of America: 78 million baby boomers (born between 1946-1964)

– Estimated 2 million patients in US are candidates for wound care therapy

Page 5: Dls Winger Ppt Ppt

A Growing Need:

• Epidemic increase in diabetes (21 million in US)– 1of every 8 federal health care dollars is spent on

diabetes treatment

• Obesity

• Hospital-acquired infections

Page 6: Dls Winger Ppt Ppt

The Wound Care Market

• Majority of wound patients have:– Chronic venous insufficiency and/or– Peripheral artery disease

• Other causes:– Diabetes– Pressure ulcers– Surgery, trauma, burns

Page 7: Dls Winger Ppt Ppt

The Cost of Wound Care

• Wound care products cost the US healthcare system over $7 billion

• Additional costs associated with complications from infection, extended physician care, lengthy hospital stays bring total to $20 billion

Page 8: Dls Winger Ppt Ppt

Urgent Need:

• Reduce rising costs of treatment by reducing the length of patient treatment cycles and improving infection management

• Implement more cost-effective wound treatment programs that prioritize wound prevention, early intervention, and faster healing times

The Wound Care Market

• Advanced Wound Care Technologies – Moist wound dressings (hydrogels, hydro-

colloids, alginates, foams and transparent films

– Antimicrobial dressings delivering substances to the wound

– Biological products such as skin substitutes, tissue-engineered products and

growth factors

The Wound Care Market

• Advanced Wound Healing Techniques

– Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT)– Oxygen therapy (HBOT)– Low level laser therapy (LLLT) – Therapeutic ultrasound

Page 11: Dls Winger Ppt Ppt

A Growing Market:

• Total commercial market for advanced wound care products projected at $12.5 billion by 2012– US market fastest growing segment (10%+ per

year) at $4.6 billion

• Wound care dressings, sealants, anti-adhesion products 59% of market

• Wound healing devices 41% of revenues

at $1.1 billion

Conflict Between Cost & Quality of Care

• Nearly 21 million people in the United States have diabetes.

• One of every eight federal health care dollars is spent treating people with the disease

Page 13: Dls Winger Ppt Ppt

Conflict Between Cost & Quality of Care

• CMS coverage for wound care in National Coverage Determination (NCD) – “is the evidence for any specific modalities

adequate to demonstrate improved health outcomes for selected wound patients”

– To provide an effective treatment option for a patient’s condition in a manner that is cost-effective and beneficial to all parties

Conflict Between Cost & Quality of Care

• Cost of advanced wound care

– Evidence of accelerated healing with new technologies?

– Shorter treatment times?– Better quality of life for patients
