The "Digitizing Wound Care" episode, hosted by Mölnlycke Healthcare, explores the transformative impact of digital solutions on wound care in Ireland's public health system.

Featuring Tracey Dermody, an advanced nurse practitioner, and Louise Skerritt, an assistant director in public health, the episode highlights their innovative efforts to implement digital tools for wound assessment.

Despite challenges such as inconsistent wound measurement and lack of advanced training among community nurses, Tracey and Louise have developed educational strategies and advocated for a digital platform to standardise wound care practices. Their pilot study of a digital app received positive feedback, demonstrating potential benefits like:

• time savings
• reduced administrative tasks
• improved patient outcomes

Their dedication to enhancing wound care through digital innovation underscores the importance of collaboration, patient-centered care, and the power of technology in healthcare transformation.
