Participants were health-care managers, clinical leaders, nurses and allied health members who are part of wound care services. Open-ended surveys were distributed to participants in a series of learning workshops, and data analysed to identify leading themes. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p> A total of 261 participants took part and 194 surveys were returned (response rate: 74%). From the analysis five themes emerged: patient\/family wound-related education; health professional wound-related education; implementation of evidence-based wound care and dissemination of evidence-based wound information across professions and contexts; teamwork and respectful communication within teams; and a higher value and priority placed on wound care through collaborative teams by managers, leaders and policymakers. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title><jats:p> Findings suggest that ongoing, system-wide education is needed to improve prevention, assessment, treatment and management of four wound types: venous leg ulcer (VLU), diabetic foot ulcer (DFU), pressure ulcer (PU) and surgical wounds. Health professionals are committed to delivering best practice in wound care. Participants identified that effective patient-focused, evidence-based wound care involves having a health-care system with a clear mandate to ensure wound care is a priority. A high value placed on wound care by managers and clinical leadership could transform the present systems. Additionally, effective and widespread dissemination of evidenced-informed practice information is crucial to positive patient outcomes. Education and team commitment for consistent and respectful communication would improve care delivery. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.12968\/jowc.2019.28.sup7.s4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,11]],"date-time":"2019-07-11T17:39:41Z","timestamp":1562866781000},"page":"S4-S13","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Health professionals' perspectives on delivering patient-focused wound management: a qualitative study"],"prefix":"10.12968","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Janet L.","family":"Kuhnke","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Assistant Professor, Nurse Specialist, Ostomy, Wound and Continence, Cape Breton University, Nursing, Grand Lake Road, Sydney, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Keast","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wound Care Research Leader, Parkwood Institute Research, Parkwood Institute, London, Ontario"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sue","family":"Rosenthal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Director, Knowledge Mobilization, Wounds Canada, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robyn Jones","family":"Evans","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Director, Wound Healing Clinic, Women's College Hospital, Canada"},{"name":"Lecturer, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"5130","reference":[{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.12927\/hcq.2014.23787"},{"key":"B5","unstructured":"Mikkonen J, Rapheal D.
