Giishkaandago’Ikwe Health Services (GHS) has embraced an AI-driven digital wound care solution as part of its wound care model. This integration aims to support staff in capturing accurate and consistent wound evaluations, streamlined documentation accessible within the communities and enhanced communication and tracking of wounds’ progress.  

This study included 202 patients with 3,103 wound evaluations. Looking at year-over-year data, the following outcomes were seen: 

  • 12.8% improvement in visits-per-episode. 
  • 20.3% faster healing. 
  • 17.4% reduction in the rate of in-house acquired wounds. 

These outcomes highlight the positive impact of AI in optimizing wound care delivery within the organization.
