This is often compounded by the clinicians' training, the availability of the required data to collect, incomplete documentation and lack of reporting of this type of data across the various health care settings. To date, there is little published data on wound prevalence across regions or states. This study aims to identify the number and types of wounds treated in the Gippsland area using the Mobile Wound Care (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">MWC<\/jats:styled-content>\u2122) program. The <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">MWC<\/jats:styled-content> program has enabled clinicians in Gippsland to collect data on wounds managed by district nurses from four health services. The main outcomes measured were patient characteristics, wound characteristics and treatment characteristics of wounds in Gippsland. These data create several clinical and research opportunities. The identification of predominant wound aetiologies in Gippsland provides a basis on which to determine a regional wound prospective and the impact of the regional epidemiology. Training that incorporates best practice guidelines can be tailored to the most prevalent wound types. Clinical pathways that encompass the Australian and New Zealand clinical practice guidelines for the management of venous leg ulcers can be introduced and the clinical and economical outcomes can be quantitatively measured. The <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">MWC<\/jats:styled-content> allows healing times (days) to be benchmarked both regionally and against established literature, for example, venous leg ulcers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/iwj.12118","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,7,15]],"date-time":"2013-07-15T09:57:00Z","timestamp":1373882220000},"page":"319-325","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Identifying wound prevalence using the Mobile Wound Care program"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Judi","family":"Walker","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Nursing &amp; Health Sciences Monash University, School of Rural Health  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marianne","family":"Cullen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Latrobe Community Health Centre  Morwell Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Helen","family":"Chambers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Nursing &amp; Health Sciences Monash University, School of Rural Health  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eleanor","family":"Mitchell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Nursing &amp; Health Sciences Monash University, School of Rural Health  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nicole","family":"Steers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Latrobe Community Health Centre  Morwell Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hanan","family":"Khalil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Nursing &amp; Health Sciences Monash University, School of Rural Health  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,7,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","volume-title":"Key indicators of progress for chronic disease and associated determinants: data report","author":"Australian Institute of Health and Welfare","year":"2011"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","first-page":"13","article-title":"Woundswest: identifying the prevalence of wounds within western Australia's public health system","volume":"9","author":"Santamaria N","year":"2009","journal-title":"Eur Wound Manage Assoc J"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.12968\/jowc.2009.18.3.39814"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1742-481X.2009.00615.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","first-page":"46","article-title":"Prevalence of chronic wounds in Quebec home care: an exploratory study","volume":"52","author":"Rodrigues I","year":"2006","journal-title":"Ostomy Wound Manage"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.12968\/jowc.2007.16.10.27910"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.12968\/jowc.2006.15.9.26966"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","unstructured":"Strachan V Prentice J Newall N Elmes R Carville K Santamaria N Della P.
