Abstract
Methods and apparatus for storing and reviewing wound data are shown using a digital datasheet, or wound electronic medical record (WEMR). The WEMR is preferably presented via a single page containing all data that should be considered by a wound healing provider, as predetermined by protocol. This includes, but is not limited to, fields for: a digital photograph of the wound; a graph of the wound healing rate (length, width, depth and area over time); wound and other treatments including current systemic medications, along with a patient identifier and review/approval indicator. This may also include hematology and chemistry laboratory data; radiology and pathology images along with their associated reports; ambulation status and other history; and microbiology data including sensitivities. The WEMR is implemented via a wound database system, which includes templates and policies for rapid report generation and tools for protocol mapping. A particular WEMR page may be designed for electronic or paper review and approval by a treating physician, thus permitting comprehensive but efficient review of all relevant wound data, whether for a personal or remote consult, real-time or otherwise. When teaching or doing studies, patient identifier information can be masked while still enabling review of large but detailed data sets for a variety of wound and patient criteria.
