A Real-World Registry of Chronic Wounds and Ulcers
Sponsored by U.S. Wound Registry
About this study
WOUNDJOURNEY is a longitudinal, real-world, observational registry designed to capture the full clinical course and patient journey associated with chronic wounds and ulcers. Data are collected during routine care from over 1,400 clinicians across the USA and Puerto Rico using a highly structured certified electronic health record (EHR) or electronic data capture (EDC) system. Data are transmitted daily to the U.S. Wound Registry (USWR), a CMS-recognized Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR). The registry captures real-time, research-ready data on patient demographics, comorbidities, wound characteristics, standard-of-care treatments, complications, and advanced therapeutics. It supports robust, fit-for-purpose real-world evidence generation by enabling risk-adjusted outcome analysis, comparative effectiveness research, and quality improvement across diverse sites of care.
WOUNDJOURNEY is a longitudinal, real-world observational registry focused on the chronic disease burden and patient journey of individuals with chronic wounds and ulcers. Data collection began in 2005 and continues prospectively, capturing structured clinical data at the point of care using a purpose-built certified EHR or EDC system. These data are securely transmitted to the U.S. Wound Registry (USWR), a CMS-designated Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR). All major wound types are represented: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), diabetic ulcers not on the foot, Venous leg ulcers (VLUs), Arterial ulcers, Pressure ulcers/injuries, Surgical complications, Traumatic wounds, Vasculitic/inflammatory, and sickle cell-related ulcers, and chronic non-pressure ulcers.
