A Real World, Observational Registry of Chronic Wounds and Ulcers to Assess Quality of Care, Evidence Based Practice and Outcomes Using Linked Electronic Health Record Data
More than 100 hospital based outpatient wound centers in the USA and Puerto Rico agree to
transmit structured data on all patients followed with chronic wounds and ulcers (e.g.
diabetic foot ulcers, venous ulcers, pressure ulcers, arterial ulcers, surgical wounds, and
traumatic wounds). Data are collected at point of care including adherence to wound care
quality measures developed by the USWR as a Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR).

diabetic foot ulcers, venous ulcers, pressure ulcers, arterial ulcers, surgical wounds, and
traumatic wounds). Data are collected at point of care including adherence to wound care
quality measures developed by the USWR as a Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR).
This is a longitudinal, observational study of chronic wounds and ulcers treated at
participating hospital based, outpatient wound centers. Data collection began in 2005.
Structured data are collected at the point of care in the patient electronic health record
and data from all patients at more than 100 wound centers in the USA and Puerto Rico are
transmitted to the U.S. Wound Registry which is recognized by CMS as a Qualified Clinical
Data Registry (QCDR). Participation in the USWR can satisfy the registry participation option
for Stage 2 of Meaningful use. The dataset includes all wound and ulcer types such as
diabetic foot ulcers, venous stasis ulcers, pressure ulcers, arterial ulcers, surgical
wounds, traumatic wounds, vasculitic ulcers, arterial ulcers, sickle cell ulcers,
inflammatory ulcers (e.g. pyoderma gangrenosum), and ulcers related to skin disorders such as
scleroderma. Interventions provided include advanced dressings, compression bandaging,
off-loading, cellular and/or tissue based therapies, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, negative
pressure wound therapy, debridement, and antibiotics. Ulcers are risk stratified for outcomes
reporting using the Wound Healing Index.Outcomes measured include healing or wound closure,
surgical closure, death, and major and minor amputation. Data on wound care specific quality
measures developed by the QCDR are also available.
