08 Nov The high cost of non-compliant wound care

When you have a post-surgical or chronic wound, how you take care of it at home can have far-reaching consequences. The last thing you want is to end up back in the hospital, endure further pain, or even need to have another procedure. But statistics show that non-compliant wound care can result in precisely these things happening. Fortunately, you have options. 

The high cost of non-compliant wound care

There’s nothing fun about caring for a wound. Many people find the process of caring for their wounds at home to be overwhelming, confusing, and too time-consuming. But failing to follow prescribed wound care treatment can lead to wounds becoming infected, which can increase the cost and complications of care. 

According to one study that reviewed 237,441 surgeries performed, there was a 30-day unplanned hospital readmittance rate of over 11%. Of those, the number one cause of readmittance, which was the case in over 30% of patients, was wound care complications. 

For patients who have high out-of-pocket deductibles, the cost of non-compliant wound care can be substantial. There are other costs associated with not carefully following wound care instructions. These include additional lost time from work, sacrificed time with loved ones, and other adverse health consequences.
