Helping you improve care while decreasing costs

Collaborating for Change: HOW Partners with the NSM LHIN to Develop and Implement a Comprehensive Wound Care Management Strategy
Health Outcomes Worldwide is working with The North Simcoe Muskoka Local Health Integration Network (NSM LHIN) to develop and implement a comprehensive wound care management strategy. The NSM LHIN serves the District of Muskoka, most of the County of Simcoe and a portion of Grey County in the province of Ontario. It is one of 14 local entities throughout the province designed to plan, integrate and fund local health services across the continuum of care. The objectives of the Wound Care Management Strategy include increasing value in care for patients across the continuum, improving efficiency within the NSM LHIN, ensuring the consistent application of evidence based care and tracking of care/cost indicators.
