Leveraging an information warehouse to create translational research environment for wound care center.

In order to discover new biomarkers and therapeutic agents for personalized wound care, a vast amount of clinical information is collected and stored at The Ohio State University Medical Center (OSUMC) Comprehensive Wound Center (CWC). The Information Warehouse (IW) group at OSUMC has developed and implemented a comprehensive data collection network and analysis pipeline to support clinical, translational and outcomes research, and cost analyses that can be converted into clinical best practices for wound care.
