MultiMedia HealthCare LLC produces peer-reviewed, indexed journals that educate health care providers in all areas of medicine. The company’s core strength is our extensive knowledge about the diagnosis and treatment of the 50 and older patient population. There is a critical need to educate physicians and other health care providers treating this population because geriatrics is not part of most medical school curricula. In addition, we offer cutting-edge original research on the impact of gender in key therapeutic areas, and clinical information on the medical and management issues of home care medicine.

Home care providers should be knowledgeable about the components of a comprehensive wound management program: etiologic factors, systemic factors, and topical therapies. This article provides an overview of a comprehensive wound management program and assists the clinician in selecting an appropriate topical therapy based on principles of wound care.
