Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Wounds; Diabetes Complications; Diabetic Foot; Foot Ulcer
• Interventions: Other: Online Wound Electronic Medical Record

• Registration Number: NCT01371318
• Lead Sponsor: NYU Langone Health

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether using the OWEMR as part of the standard of care for Diabetic Foot Ulcers reduces the rate of lower limb amputations and to quantify the relationship between glycemic control and the rate of amputation secondary to chronic foot ulcers in Type II Diabetes.

Detailed Description

The Online Wound Electronic Medical Record (OWEMR) is a medical informatics tool that synthesizes data about complex wound problems from multiple sources and is innovative in its capability to performing these critical tasks: i) identification of the information needed to make treatment decisions at the point of care in real time ii) use intelligent search and report features to identify patients who require emergency interventions, and iii) provide evidence-based clinical decision support to clinicians. Use of the OWEMR includes digital photography as an objective measurement of wound healing rates.
