The WOCN-Connect service of Miller and Huffman Outcome Architects LLC, Winchester, Tenn., connects caregivers with a Certified Wound, Ostomy and Continence nurse. A secure Web site enables a provider to input patient information and preferred wound care products used at a facility, and attach a digital photo of a wound, for review by the certified nurse.
WOCN-Connect also includes software to analyze aggregate data to generate outcomes benchmarking reports. Clinicians, for instance, can compare their patients' recovery times, re-hospitalization rates and infection rates against state and national averages. The outcomes software also can support the documenting of wound care for pay-for-performance programs.
Web-based outcomes services are available on a subscription basis. Wound photo consultations are available on a pay-per-use basis. More information and a demonstration is available at wocn-connect.com.
