Article Synopsis
- - The National Cellulitis Improvement Programme (NCIP) aims to provide personalized, evidence-based care to reduce the recurrence of cellulitis and improve patient outcomes, addressing the often overlooked wider impacts and risk factors associated with the condition.
- - Researchers conducted a review of existing cellulitis-specific Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) and consulted with experts to assess cellulitis's impact on patients, ultimately introducing CELLUPROM as a new tool for measuring this impact in clinical settings.
- - The study found no previous cellulitis-specific PROMs and identified significant ongoing physical, social, and emotional effects of cellulitis, demonstrating that CELLUPROM has been effectively integrated into clinical care to enhance Value-Based Healthcare and support program evaluations. *
