MALVERN, PA — HMP Global, a leading healthcare events and education company, is joining forces with the Wound Care Collaborative Community (WCCC). The partnership will host the inaugural Driving Innovation in Wound Care Summit, coinciding with the Symposium on Advanced Wound Care (SAWC) Spring | Wound Healing Society (WHS) annual event.
Scheduled for May 13 at the Orlando World Center Marriott in Orlando, the Wound Care Summit precedes the SAWC Spring | WHS meeting slated for May 14-18. The summit aims to bring together an exclusive group of representatives from key healthcare sectors. This includes the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), WCCC’s membership, renowned clinicians, researchers, industry leaders, health systems, and payers. Their collective goal? To identify and overcome barriers hindering wound care innovation.
Vickie R. Driver, DPM, MS, FACFAS, WCCC Chair and SAWC Spring Planning Committee member, emphasized the need for science-based, patient-centered solutions. “As chronic wounds continue to significantly impact our patients, it is critical that we identify barriers to high-quality care and find new solutions that improve quality of life and patient outcomes.”
The summit is set to cover a wide array of vital topics including breaking barriers to achieve new discoveries in wound care, the lack of innovation in the field, alternative primary endpoints, evidence generation and reporting, real-world evidence in FDA and payer decision making, and defining standards of care in wound care.
HMP Global’s partnership with WCCC was a “natural fit,” according to Tiffney Oliver, Vice President of the Wound Care Learning Network at HMP Global. “Everything about the Summit and SAWC Spring | WHS is patient-focused, and we are honored to collaborate with WCCC. Programs like this are the key to ensuring future innovation and patient-centered solutions.”
The summit lists Mimosa Diagnostics, MolecuLight Inc., and Mölnlycke among its industry supporters.
The SAWC Spring | WHS, a leading meeting dedicated to wound management, treatment, and prevention, follows the summit. The five-day educational program will feature over 80 high-impact sessions led by globally recognized faculty experts, underscoring the commitment of both HMP Global and WCCC to driving innovation in wound care.
