On this Wound Care Wednesday, we’re highlighting an important shift in how advanced wound care is being delivered—bringing treatment directly to the patient.

As more patients in post-acute and long-term care settings face barriers to access, mobile wound care is becoming a necessary evolution in improving outcomes and continuity of care.
Dr. Jonathan Johnson, MD, MBA, CWSP, FAPWCA will be speaking at SAWC Spring | WHS on this growing model and its real-world impact.

Wound Care Business Navigator: Mobile Health and Wound Care Panel Discussion
📍 Session Details
Moderator/Presenter: Dr. Jonathan Johnson
Co-Presenters: Ryan Dirks, MS, PA-C | Amanda Estapa, APRN, CWS, FACCWS, DAPWCA | Shawn Naqvi, MD

🗓 Saturday, April 11, 2026
⏰ 2:00 – 3:00 PM
📍 Room: Richardson D

This session will explore:
• How mobile wound care is expanding access to advanced treatment
• Key regulatory and business considerations for launching or scaling services
• Strategies for navigating reimbursement in complex care environments
As the field continues to evolve, meeting patients where they are is no longer optional—it’s becoming essential.

How is your team currently addressing wound care access in post-acute or long-term care settings?

If you’re attending SAWC Spring, we look forward to connecting and continuing the conversation.

On this Wound Care Wednesday, we recognize the importance of advancing how we assess and manage complex wounds—especially diabetic foot ulcers, where early precision directly impacts outcomes.

Join Dr. Jonathan Johnson, MD, MBA, CWSP, FAPWCA—widely known as “Dr. Wounds” as he presents at WoundCon this Friday:
Next-Generation Tools for Diabetic Foot Ulcer Assessment
Friday, March 20, 2026 | 3:55 PM – 4:55 PM

As Founder and Surgical Director of Comprehensive Wound Care Services in Washington, DC, Dr. Johnson brings a multidisciplinary perspective shaped by advanced surgical training, leadership in hospital-based wound care, and ongoing contributions to national education and research.

With diabetic foot ulcers remaining a significant driver of morbidity, innovation in assessment is critical to enabling earlier intervention, more targeted treatment, and better healing trajectories.

We look forward to continued progress through collaboration, education, and clinical excellence. Register today at: hmpglobalevents.com

This Wound Care Wednesday, I’m pleased to share the preliminary outline of an important new position paper addressing CAMPs wastage in light of the upcoming 2026 CMS Physician Fee Schedule updates.

As CMS reclassifies Cellular, Acellular, and Matrix-like Products (CAMPs) as incident-to-supply, many clinicians across the country are facing new questions around documentation, wastage definitions, and appropriate product utilization.

To help bring clarity to these changes, an expert group of wound care clinicians collaborated to develop clinical, operational, and policy-focused recommendations grounded in real-world practice. I’m grateful for the thoughtful contributions and collaboration from this outstanding group of colleagues:
Dr. Windy Cole, DPM, CWSP, FFPM RCPS(Glasg)
Shaun Carpenter MD, CWSP, DABWMS
William O’Malley
Martha R Kelso
Rob Snyder, DPM, MSc, MBA, CWSP, FFPM RCPS(Glasg)
Abigail Chaffin, MD, FACS, CWSP, MAPWCA
Mark Suski, MD, FACS
Alisha Oropallo MD, FSVS, FACS, FABWMS

These issues have significant implications for patient access, clinician workflow, and reimbursement stability in wound care. It is essential that clinicians actively participate in shaping the guidance that defines appropriate CAMPs administration.

The full position document is currently in development and will be published later this year in the Journal of Wound Care (JWC).

For now, we are pleased to share this early outline to support continued dialogue across the wound care community. https://lnkd.in/eY7WRjcS
More to come.

This Wound Care Wednesday, we are honored to announce that Dr. Jonathan Johnson is part of the author team awarded the 2025 Journal of Wound Care (JWC) CAMP of the Year Award.

The award recognizes the publication:
“Rethinking regulatory tiers: Medicare real-world evidence shows CAMP outcomes are independent of FDA regulatory classification.”

The study analyzed Medicare real-world data from millions of wound care episodes and demonstrated that cellular, acellular, and matrix-like products (CAMPs), when used alongside standard of care, significantly improve outcomes, including reductions in mortality, major amputations, and hospital utilization.

The award will be presented at the CAMPs Wound Care Summit, taking place March 6–7, 2026 at the Hilton West Palm Beach, Florida. The summit brings together leading clinicians, researchers, and industry experts to advance regenerative medicine and evidence-based wound care.

Congratulations to Dr. Johnson and the entire research team for their important contribution to improving outcomes for patients with hard-to-heal wounds.

Are your wound care providers advanced wound care certified?

I recently completed my 10-year board recertification as a Certified Wound Specialist Physician (CWSP), and it reinforced an important truth: advanced wound care certification is not optional. It is essential.

Certification establishes clinical credibility, supports high-quality outcomes, strengthens program legitimacy, and provides the foundation needed to advocate effectively with hospital leadership, payers, and policymakers. For surgeons and physicians, advanced wound care certification is a critical step toward advancing wound care as a recognized specialty—rather than allowing it to remain a fragmented or ancillary service line.

This additional step moves our field closer to ABMS-level recognition, which remains a key goal. Given the significant clinical, regulatory, and reimbursement changes we are currently facing, formal recognition is no longer aspirational. It is necessary.

When wound care programs lack medically led, advanced wound–certified leadership, both providers and organizations are placed at a strategic disadvantage. Elevating one’s primary specialty through advanced wound care certification strengthens interdisciplinary collaboration, improves patient outcomes, and accelerates progress toward sustainable specialty recognition.

I am pleased to continue working with the American Professional Wound Care Association (APWCA) as they develop structured, physician-led, provider-focused training programs to expand access to high-quality wound care education. I also value organizations such as United Wound Healing that support formal educational rotations and interdisciplinary training models—critical components of a unified, well-represented, and future-ready wound care workforce.

Wound care certification is foundational—not only for individual professional development, but for the advancement, recognition, and long-term protection of our specialty.

Alongside Dr. Shawn Naqvi and Dr. Shaun Carpenter, we met with congressional leadership and senior CMS policy officials to discuss the upcoming Skin Substitute LCD changes.

Our message was simple and consistent:
Protect patient access to limb- and life-saving wound care therapies while allowing the necessary time for research to mature and validate these advanced products.

A few key points from our meetings:
    •    Cost reduction is a primary driver behind these policy changes.
    •    Coverage for pressure injuries and open wounds may become discretionary at the MAC level, increasing uncertainty for clinicians and patients starting January 1.

These changes have real consequences. Delayed access to advanced wound care leads to delayed healing, higher complication rates, and worse outcomes for vulnerable patients. At the same time, we recognize and support CMS’s responsibility to pursue responsible cost savings that ensure the long-term sustainability of the healthcare system.

Importantly, emerging clinical literature continues to demonstrate the role of advanced wound therapies in improving healing outcomes and reducing downstream costs when used appropriately, including recent findings published in the Journal of Wound Care (2025).
We will continue advocating for evidence-based policy that prioritizes patients while balancing fiscal responsibility.
More to come.
