The social and environmental conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age account for 80% of heath outcomes while only 20% are a result of care delivery. This session will examine how these factors influence wound management in various patient cohorts. Understanding the continuum of care in the context of health care disparities is an essential part of developing best practices and new policies to help close these gaps in this at-risk patient population.
