The goal of this project to begin using a wound research database with clinical decision support features at Winthrop University Hospital. A research database is an electronic computer system that is used to collect patient information. Clinical decision support is the ability for a computer system to provide medical assistance to the doctor through alerts and recommendations based on the information entered. The investigators believe that use of a wound clinical decision support tool, much like a drug, will improve healing in patients with chronic wounds (wounds that fail to heal over the course of weeks) and ultimately lower the risk of death and illness caused by these wounds. In order to develop a useful clinical decision support tool, investigators first need to develop a large research database to determine the data points important for wound healing. The investigators will be using the data collected in this study for future research and publication. Data will be reviewed to answer questions important to wound healing and for the purpose of developing the clinical decision support alert system.
After providing informed consent, participants will be asked a series of questions related to their past medical history, and relevant wound data will be collected. Study staff will photograph the wound at baseline, and once per week until the wound is completely healed, or for a duration of six months.
Participants will be expected to return to Winthrop University Hospital for wound follow-up on a regular basis, or as determined by the Principal Investigator.
2,217 studies on the registry are indexed under Wounds and Injuries; 440 are open to participants now.

Male or female patients at Winthrop University Hospital with any chronic wound (defined as a break in the integument).
Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.
Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

To answer questions relevant to wound healing.
* How does wound pathology relate to wound healing? * How do different types of bacterial infections affect wound healing? * To determine the etiology of morbidity, mortality and cost in chronic wound patients. * How does providing the patient with an individualized data summary and photos of their wound affect wound healing?
Time frame: up to 6 months
Develop new parameters for clinical decision support based on wound data collected.
Time frame: up to 6 months
