Abstract

With the recent shift of burn patients' care to the outpatient arena the need for a multidisciplinary approach continues for the achievement of optimal outcomes in wound healing, functional outcomes, quality of life, psychological care, nutrition and patient satisfaction. Outcome data must be collected and evaluated to plan resources and improve quality. This article will describe one burn center's establishment of an outpatient program that ascribes to the metrics of evaluating our structure of care, processes, and outcomes while remaining financially solvent. The second purpose is to describe our outpatient registry and its ability to capture outcome measurements and be used in research.
