Keesler Medical Center (KMC) established a Training Affiliation Agreement with Memorial Health System (MHS), embedding 4N0 personnel within the civilian wound care service.

Four CMRP-aligned metrics were extracted weekly: patient encounters (Cat II.B), debridements (Cat II.C), negative-\u00adpressure dressing changes (Cat II.J), and burn encounters (Cat II.E). Weekly volumes were compared using a paired Wilcoxon signed-rank test by calendar week; Fisher\u2019s exact test was used for sparse categories.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>MHS exceeded KMC across all 4 categories.
