headline: Multisite Implementation of a Digital Wound Model of Care: A Post-Implementation Multimethods Evaluation of Patient and Clinician Perspectives and Lessons Learned
dek: This study evaluated district-wide implementation of a digital wound model of care combining an artificial intelligence-enabled application with a virtual command centre across four hospitals and five community health centres in Australia. A post-implementation multimethods evaluation (January 2024-January 2026) of patients (n = 94), frontline clinicians (n = 75), and senior wound nurses (n = 9) and a product manager (n = 1) using surveys, semi-structured interviews and analysis of governance meeting minutes.

gain_title: District-wide implementation of an AI-enabled wound app with virtual command centre produced high patient satisfaction and perceived benefit, including improved communication and self-management confidence among app users.
problem_title: Only 59% of patients felt meaningfully involved in decisions about their own care, and clinicians reported implementation barriers including poor connectivity, time pressures and training burden.
trace_subject: patient experience of the AI-enabled digital wound model of care
gain_reading: District-wide implementation of an AI-enabled wound app with virtual command centre produced high patient satisfaction and perceived benefit, including improved communication and self-management confidence among app users.
gain_evidence: 89% reported improved communication between them and the wound care provider | 79% self-management confidence
problem_reading: Only 59% of patients felt meaningfully involved in decisions about their own care, and clinicians reported implementation barriers including poor connectivity, time pressures and training burden.
problem_evidence: Just over half (59%) felt they were meaningfully involved in decisions about their own care | poor connectivity was a limitation | reported barriers including time pressures and training burden
quick_read: Between January 2024 and January 2026, a health district in Australia implemented a digital wound model of care combining an AI-enabled app with a virtual command centre across four hospitals and five community health centres. A post-implementation evaluation surveyed and interviewed 94 patients, 75 frontline clinicians, 9 senior wound nurses and a product manager, reviewing governance minutes to assess acceptability and perceived benefit.

The findings matter because they show high acceptability of AI-supported wound care in routine practice, with reported gains in communication, confidence and reduced travel, while also revealing that shared decision-making and clinician workflow integration remain unresolved. The study reports perceived effectiveness rather than objective wound healing rates, leaving long-term clinical and cost impacts uncertain.
limitation: Evaluation relied on perceived benefit and satisfaction rather than measured clinical healing outcomes, and identified workflow integration barriers including connectivity, time pressures, training burden, and limited shared decision-making.
tag: Dual reading
key_points: Evaluation covered January 2024-January 2026 across four hospitals and five community health centres in Australia with 94 patients, 75 frontline clinicians, 9 senior wound nurses and 1 product manager. | Among 28 patient app users, 89% reported improved communication and 79% reported self-management confidence, with 63% citing improved condition understanding and 49% reduced travel as virtual care benefits. | Senior wound nurses rated the app highly for ease of use and continuity of care at 86% each, while frontline clinicians valued enhanced documentation consistency.
rundown: The model combined an artificial intelligence-enabled application with a virtual command centre and was implemented across four hospitals and five community health centres. The post-implementation multimethods evaluation used surveys, semi-structured interviews and analysis of governance meeting minutes.

Patient results showed 91% rated care as excellent or good, 93% agreed it was effective and 96% felt confident in their provider, while 63% cited improved condition understanding and 49% reduced travel. Senior nurses rated ease of use and continuity of care at 86%, but flagged connectivity issues and frontline staff flagged documentation benefits offset by time and training demands.
