There was limited literature available in our search to document how a wound care team would function in an acute care setting nor was there any information available for the financial revenue that could be realized. Initially in the spring of 2011, nursing, physical therapy and nutrition services met to determine interest in creating a multidisciplinary wound care team. As all disciplines were anxious to improve outcomes for patients with wounds, shortly after the initial meeting we met again in August of 2011. At this point we moved forward with the concept of a team approach to patient consultation and follow-ups. This was met with approval by administration as well and a pilot project was initiated. A new Medical Director for Wound Care was hired; we enlisted a NP CWOCN and a PA who has specialized in vascular surgery to join our team. This poster will describe the patient care improvements we have identified with this team including increased patient satisfaction. The challenges in this effort as well as the steps undertaken by this team to move this project forward will be described
