As we enter our second year of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have learned to navigate through shutdowns and restrictions to keep our practices and way of living alive. We have also seen the sudden shift in our economy to at-home services, including Amazon, Grub Hub and Instacart which have become household names in this “new normal.” Home medical care services also flourished during the shutdown and gained a lot of traction during the pandemic.

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. It acts as a support structure, giving the skin strength and elasticity. Collagen also plays an essential role in wound healing. During the proliferative phase, fibroblasts migrate into wounded tissues and lay down new collagen to support the extracellular matrix (ECM), fill in the wound with granulation tissue, and aid in wound contracture. Acute and chronic wounds also contain matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs).

Footwear has been documented as a significant factor in the aetiology of foot pain in the general population. Assessing footwear in a clinical setting continues to be practitioner specific and there is limited guidance to direct advice. Health professionals must have access to clinically appropriate and reliable footwear assessment tools to educate patients on healthier footwear choices.

3 - 3:45 p.m. EST EVENT DETAILS: In 2002, Competitive Edge partnered with the Canadian Federation of Podiatric Medicine to create office management software that meets the daily needs of a podiatry clinic. This application is powerful, yet simple to learn and use. The ability to manage patients, their appointments/invoices, control inventory and do electronic charting is all handled by using this software. This affordable solution has been continuously evolving based on customer feedback and suggestions. Corey from Competitive Edge will be joining us for this webinar to do a quick demonstration of the software and will be sharing tips & tricks to ensure that existing customers are using the software to their advantage. New customers are also encouraged to attend to see how their current platform compares to the software program the CFPM offers. We encourage you to submit your questions and comments in advance of the webinar. They can be emailed to jennifer@cfpmcanada.ca by March 18, 2022. SPEAKER:
Corey Cruickshank, President of Competitive Edge Information Systems Inc.
