Providing clinically excellent and cost effective wound care remains both a goal and a challenge for many hospitals. The healthcare industry has struggled with cost and quality issues in many arenas for years but wound management has only recently become one of the metrics assessed. This is in part due to the increased interest in wound care services by third party payors, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), and the Joint Commission.The market for wound management services is large, often underserved, and growing. It is estimated that more than 7 million people in the US (2% of the total population) experience a chronic, nonhealing wound and require care. Perhaps as many as half of the hospital-affiliated wound centers currently use a management company. Candescent Healing's exclusive business is the development and management of Centers for Limb Preservation, Advanced Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Therapy in collaboration with prestigious general acute care hospitals. Located in select markets across the United States, each center is operated under the name of our host hospital and is fully integrated into the organization's clinical delivery system and continuum.Like Candescent Healing on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Candescent-Healing/168463836523374 Follow Candescent Healing on Twitter: https://twitter.com/CandescentHeal
