Benefits and examples of success
The national wound registry of Sweden (RiksSår) has been using Dermicus for removing the variation in patient pathways for the management of chronic wounds.
A video detailing the experience of Dr Rut Öien of the national wound registry. On October 7, 2020, a webinar was held by EWMA where Rut Öien was one of the speakers and talked about how wound consultations can take place via Dermicus with simultaneous data entry into the national quality register. This way of working makes it possible to both follow the individual patient’s wound healing process and gain access to national aggregated data about this patient group.
