Wound Interdisciplinary Teams (WIT): A Community- Based Pragmatic Randomized Controlled Trial (WIT)
Wounds that are slow to heal (chronic) may be managed in different ways. In Ontario, care in the community for most of these is coordinated by the local Community Care Access Centre (CCAC). One or more health professionals might deliver treatment, individually or as part of a wound care team, with different members having different kinds of training (interdisciplinary team), which may or may not include wound care. Community treatment by interdisciplinary teams has been shown to be more effective and cost-effective for some long-standing health problems, but further scientific evidence is needed to determine if this is also true for chronic wounds.
This study compares the usual way chronic wounds are being managed in the community with a so-called "intermediate care" approach. In this study, intermediate care will involve health service providers following certain agreed-upon steps (evidence-based best practice) from first contact with the client through assessment, treatment, and on to referral to a hospital specialty wound care team, if needed.

Experimental: Intervention Arm
Systematic referral to MDWCT and comprehensive primary care: Intervention consists of systematic referral to MDWCT in conjunction with comprehensive primary care.Systematic referral to, and follow up, by MDWCTs, co-ordinated by the CM, will occur.There will be immediate referral to the MDWCT of clients with :1/ diabetic lower extremity ulcers,2/peripheral neuropathy, charcot changes,3/wound present longer than 4 mths. ,4/ Ankle Brachial Index less than 0.6, non-diabetics, and not being seen by a vascular surgeon. Subsequent referral to MDWCT will occur if less than 30% healing by week 4. |
