520 |a The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requested a technology assessment (TA) report from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) summarizing the usual care for chronic wound management in patients presenting with decubitus ulcers due to pressure, or foot or leg ulcers due to diabetes, or arterial or venous disease. This report will be used to inform a meeting of the Medicare Coverage Advisory Committee (MCAC) in March 2005. This committee will use the information in this report, in conjunction with other data, to deliberate on the trial designs that will be needed to support the development of sufficient evidence to determine the appropriate treatment of chronic wounds. This report is not intended to support the development of clinical practice guidelines. In this report, chronic wounds are defined as wounds that do not heal completely after receiving standard medical treatment for 30 days
