[Agency] AHRQ [Project Title] Wound EMR to Decrease Limb Amputations in Persons with Diabetes [Institution] NEW YORK UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE [Amount] $0 [Summary] The goal of this project is to demonstrate that effective utilization of the Online Wound Electronic Medical Record (OWEMR) can prevent DFU progression to amputation in a variety of healthcare settings. Successful completion of this project will provide level-1 evidence for the effectiveness of the OWEMR as a clinical intervention for reducing DFU-related foot amputations. It also will close a knowledge gap in DFU treatment by defining the effectiveness of long-term glycemic control in reducing DFU-associated amputations. Primary stakeholders in diabetes care - professional associations of wound care specialists and diabetes advocates - will facilitate the translation and dissemination of revised DFU treatment guidelines resulting from this project through their web sites, publications, continuing education programs and conferences.
