MALVERN, PA, UNITED STATES, January 30, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- To address barriers to patient care and access to innovative advances in wound care, HMP Global’s Symposium on Advanced Wound Care (SAWC) Spring and Wound Healing Society (WHS) meeting and the Wound Care Collaborative Community (WCCC) will host the second annual Driving Innovation in Wound Care Summit this spring.

The summit, to be held Friday, May 2 in Grapevine, Texas, will focus on “Collaboration Encourages Innovation: Setting New Standards in Wound Care.” In this unique event, representatives from the WCCC, National Institutes of Health (NIH), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), along with leading clinicians, researchers, representatives from industry, health systems, and payers will work together to evaluate barriers to wound care innovation and learn how to overcome those barriers.

One of the primary highlights of this year’s summit will be the WCCC Expert Panel Consensus Recommendations, developed from the 2024 WCCC: Driving Innovation in Wound Care Summit. These recommendations will guide discussions and help shape new strategies to improve patient care, promote regulatory advancements, and stimulate product development.

This year’s summit’s Keynote Address will be delivered virtually by Michelle Tarver, MD, PhD, Director of the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH). She will provide insights into the regulatory landscape and how collaboration with stakeholders across the wound care continuum can expedite innovation while ensuring patient safety and efficacy. Additional sessions include:

• Overview and Update of Current WCCC Projects;
• Engagement with the FDA, NIH, and WCCC for Start-Up Companies;
• Supporting Innovation Virtual Roundtable Discussion with FDA and CMS;

Driver, DPM, MS, FACFAS, FAAWC. “The innovation and insights we gain here will help shape the future of wound care, ultimately improving patient outcomes and advancing the field.”
