title: [Enhance the connotation of establishment of wound healing department].
abstract: Following the development of social economy, the acceleration of aging problem, and the changes in disease spectrum, the incidence of various chronic wound diseases increased significantly, and it has become one of the most frequently encountered diseases that affect the people's health. The contradiction between the increase of medical need of wound diseases and the insufficiency of the medical service in our country is becoming increasingly conspicuous. Wound healing department, as a new cross subject that has emerged as the times require, needs to be perfected in its diagnostic and treatment strategies and methods. At present time, how to explore the new theory and pathologic mechanism of various chronic wounds, in order to establish the clinical guidelines in diagnosis and treatment that conform to national conditions of our country, and to establish efficient clinical pathway and medical-seeking model have become serious challenges to the establishment of wound healing department in our country. Thus, it is imperative for us to enhance the connotation of establishment of wound healing department. For this purpose, this article mainly elaborates on three aspects, including "enriching traditional diagnostic system with new theory and new technology", "improving treatment effect by ameliorating traditional methods and absorbing new technology from relating subspecialty", "establishing a new medical-seeking model by applying digital technology and vertically integrating medical resources".
