State of the Art Wound Care Therapies and Treatments
In providing wound healing management for hospitals, National Healing Corporation
provides full implementation of the latest technology and specialized training in
leading edge treatments and therapies to create managed wound healing centers and
hyperbaric oxygen outpatient services.
According to a 2002 article by Ovington, the earliest written evidence of man's
interest in wound healing can be traced to the Sumerians prior to 2000 B.C. Egyptian
writings later revealed a basic "recipe" for an Egyptian wound dressing, consisting
of lint, grease and honey. The Greeks acknowledged that wounds were either "fresh"
or "non-healing" in what may be the first recognition of the difference between
acute versus chronic wounds.
Today, NHC is at the forefront of clinical trials and research to expand knowledge
and discover new advances in wound care. Skilled physicians at NHC managed wound
healing centers which offer hyperbaric outpatient services and other state-of-the-art
therapies and treatments receive specialized wound care training in the identification,
diagnosis and treatment of atypical wounds, including those that are hard to heal.
NHC's Wound Healing Clinical PathwayTM evaluates the patient's responsiveness to
treatment at every step before proceeding to a wide variety of care options.
Not only are the managed wound centers uniquely equipped to administer therapies
for these unusual conditions, they also offer follow-up education for primary care
physicians and their patients to endure optimal healing without recurrence.
As part of its wound healing management for hospitals, NHC uses the latest technology
and expertise to heal a patient's wound to enable the patient's primary care physician
and healthcare providers to focus on treating the underlying cause or disease. Through
regular reports and phone calls with the patient's doctors and other experts in
the program, a total approach to treatment and care is developed.
