The transition of care (TOC) from acute to community-based settings presents significant challenges, especially for patients with chronic wounds. Effective communication and standardized discharge planning are critical to prevent readmissions and adverse events. This article explores the complexities of TOC, the role of skilled nursing and community-based long term care facilities, and the importance of interdisciplinary team approaches in wound care. It highlights the need for improved training, caregiver support, and the integration of advanced wound care practices to enhance the quality of life in community settings.

Chronic wounds are a significant global health issue, yet they are not adequately addressed in nursing education. This lack of focus results in nursing students graduating with insufficient knowledge in chronic wound care, leading to inadequate clinical practice. Consequently, nurses often struggle to manage wounds effectively, which negatively impacts patient care quality. To address this, it is crucial to enhance the nursing curriculum by incorporating more comprehensive content on chronic wound management. This will help ensure that nurses are better equipped with the necessary clinical competencies, ultimately improving patient outcomes.

This study investigates the unique challenges of wound care among the unhoused population, focusing on assessment, treatment, and documentation strategies in low-resource settings. The research underscores the prevalence of trauma, chronic illnesses, and environmental exposures that complicate wound management. The paper illustrates the diverse and complex nature of wounds encountered in this population through detailed case studies, providing practical insights for health care providers. The findings highlight the necessity of resource management and innovative approaches to address the health care needs of this vulnerable group.
