Proving Prevention: Why Evidence Matters More Than Ever in DFU Care

Evidence-based practice is becoming the standard that clinicians, health plans, and care teams can’t afford to ignore. In this episode of Smart Steps, host and Podimetrics Medical Director Dr. Gary Rothenberg is joined by Dr. Windy Cole, Director of Wound Care Research and Adjunct Professor, Kent State and the University College of Podiatric Medicine, for a practical conversation on why evidence matters more than ever in diabetic foot ulcer prevention.

Together, they explore how clinical trials, real-world data, and value-based care models are driving greater transparency, shaping clinical decisions, and raising expectations for measurable outcomes. The discussion also breaks down what high-quality evidence looks like, how clinicians can apply research without getting overwhelmed, and where wound care still needs stronger standards and reporting.
