We are proud to share that Dr. Neal Patel was honored to serve as a co-author on the newly published consensus paper, “Recommendations to Inform National Coverage Determination (NCD) Development for Skin Substitutes in Hard-to-Heal Wounds,” published in the International Journal of Tissue Repair.
This landmark publication brought together many of the nation’s leading wound care physicians, surgeons, researchers, reimbursement experts, policy specialists, and industry leaders to help shape an evidence-based framework for the appropriate use of skin substitutes (CTP/CAMPs) in patients with hard-to-heal wounds.
Dr. Patel is deeply grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with such an accomplished group of experts dedicated to advancing wound care, limb preservation, and healthcare policy nationwide. It is a privilege to contribute to work that has the potential to help shape the future of advanced wound care and improve patient access to evidence-based therapies.
A special thank you to Anthony Kerr and Kernexus for their leadership, support, and for providing the opportunity to be part of this monumental publication. Additional thanks to Kelly Nickalls and the International Journal of Tissue Repair for their commitment to advancing wound care science and for helping bring this important work to publication.
