She had walked past it before, but one day in early December 2016, she caught it with her lower shin and it opened up a cut about the size a quarter. She and her brother John Darrow, who shares a home with her in Denver, washed it out and bandaged it up. They figured she\u2019d be fine.<\/p>\n<p>A couple of days later, on Dec. 13, Milkey, 75, found herself at UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital, where staff there treated a wound that had gotten infected and spread across a two-inch by four-inch swath of her left ankle. They drained it, cleaned it and put her on intravenous antibiotics. The wound was slow to heal and Milkey became very worried.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, her primary care physician, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/provider\/corey-lyon-do-family-medicine\/\">Corey Lyon, DO<\/a>, of UCHealth\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/locations\/uchealth-family-medicine-a-f-williams-stapleton\/\">A.F. Williams Family Medicine Center<\/a> in Denver\u2019s Stapleton neighborhood, referred Milkey to his CU School of Medicine colleague Robert Carson, MD, medical director of UCH\u2019s Outpatient Wound Care and Ostomy Clinic.<\/p>\n<p>Carson is an internal medicine specialist who had arrived at UCH in February 2016. He brought deep expertise in wound care and a desire to streamline and expand the hospital\u2019s work to heal wounds into a formal Wound Care Program. Milkey would be one of that program\u2019s beneficiaries.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tying things together<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>UCH has been doing wound care since the hospital opened its doors in 1885. But doing wound care right in the 21<sup>st<\/sup> century takes an array of experts and resources. That\u2019s a reflection of the wide variety of wound types and the diversity of care approaches their care can involve. There are wounds from accidents, from postsurgical complications, from cancers, from autoimmune disorders, from diabetes, and, yes, from cardboard boxes.<\/p>\n<p>Patients often have other health issues: for example, those with pressure wounds (bedsores) may be paraplegic, malnourished, or not be able to feel the pain of the wound. Treatment can involve infectious disease experts, pathologists, radiologists, podiatrists, surgeons, vascular experts, nutritionists, physical and occupational therapists and others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to be consulting with appropriate specialties to make sure we\u2019re providing well-rounded care for what are almost always multifaceted problems,\u201d Carson said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10279\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10279\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10279 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/05\/01035929\/EXT_03XX17-ShelleyBrake_RobertCarson.webp\" alt=\"Headshots of Shelley Brake, a physician assistant, and Dr. Robert Carson, who both work on wound care.\" width=\"300\" height=\"214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/05\/01035929\/EXT_03XX17-ShelleyBrake_RobertCarson.webp 1200w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/05\/01035929\/EXT_03XX17-ShelleyBrake_RobertCarson-300x214.webp 300w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/05\/01035929\/EXT_03XX17-ShelleyBrake_RobertCarson-1024x731.webp 1024w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/05\/01035929\/EXT_03XX17-ShelleyBrake_RobertCarson-768x548.webp 768w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/05\/01035929\/EXT_03XX17-ShelleyBrake_RobertCarson-150x107.webp 150w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/05\/01035929\/EXT_03XX17-ShelleyBrake_RobertCarson-200x143.webp 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10279\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shelley Brake, PA, and Robert Carson, MD, anchor UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital&#8217;s multidisciplinary Wound Care Program.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>He pulled these experts into an in-house referral network. Two full-time wound-certified nurses joined the team, too, as did two dedicated medical assistants, and, starting in February, Shelley Brake, PA, a full-time physician assistant specializing in would care.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s made a big difference in the number of wound patients the hospital can handle: In November 2015, they managed 78 appointments. A year later, it was 221 appointments. Wait times have dropped from 18 days in December 2015 to a week and often less today. With wound care, seeing patients quickly is important, Carson said, because physicians in the community often lack training in would care and confidence in managing these sorts of patients.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to get them in as quickly as possible and get care started,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mind and body<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When Darrow wheeled Milkey into a UCH Anschutz Outpatient Pavilion Wound Clinic exam room in late December, Carson debrided (cleaned) the wound, assessed her vascular status, took cultures for testing, and made sure she had the appropriate dressings. But he also took care of her worries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was so pleasant, so encouraging and so compassionate. He said, \u2018It\u2019s going to be OK, it\u2019s not going to be amputation, it\u2019s not going to be death,\u2019\u201d Milkey recalled. \u201cHe changed my mood \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By Jan.13, she had progressed enough to return home. At her March 14 appointment, the wound had shrunk to the size of a nickel and had all but completely sealed.
