Overview
The Days to Heal Report (formerly the Days to Remission Report) analyzes wound healing timeframes across facilities and wound types. It answers the question: how many days does it typically take for a wound to heal? The report presents this as an average (AVG) and a median for each wound type, at two levels simultaneously — your selected facility and across all DocNow practices — so you can benchmark your performance in context.
Available Filters
The filter panel on the left side of the report controls what data appears in the report.
- Search Free Etiology: Filter to select provider entered free text etiologies
- Wound Type: Multi-select dropdown listing all wound etiologies (types) configured for your practice.
- Date Range: Filters the report by a start and end date.
- Facility: Multi-select dropdown listing all active facilities in your practice (Admin). When running this report as a Provider only the active facilities associated with the provider account are visible in this dropdown
- Report Current Wound Status: Checkbox for reporting the current wound status regardless of the filtered date range. See below for more information
- Exclude Heal Count of 0: Hides rows for wound types that have 0 healed wounds for the filtered date range.
After adjusting filters, click Apply Filters to refresh the report. Clear All resets every filter to its default state.
Report Current Wound Status
When this checkbox is unchecked (default), the report calculates healing metrics using the wound's historical remission date — the date the wound was actually marked In Remission or Resolved, regardless of what its status is today.
When this checkbox is checked, the report shifts to reflect the wound's current status at the time of the query. This is useful when you want to see how wounds that are active today are trending, rather than reviewing completed healing cycles from the past.
Exclude Heal Count of 0
When this checkbox is checked (enabled by default), wound types where the healed Count equals zero are hidden from the report.
When unchecked, all wound types appear — including those with no healed wounds in the selected period — which can be useful when you specifically want to audit wound types that had zero healing outcomes.
Report Modules and Columns
The report displays two side-by-side tables. Both share the same column structure; the distinction is the scope of the data.
Days to Heal Report (By Facility)
Shows healing metrics for your selected facility, broken down by wound type. Use this module to evaluate your facility's performance and identify wound types with unusually long healing times.
| Column | Description |
| Facility | The facility name for the row. |
| Wound Type | The wound etiology (type) as recorded by the provider. |
| AVG | The average number of days between the initial assessment creation date and the remission date, across all wounds of this type at this facility within the date range. |
| Median | The median number of days to remission for this wound type. Because the median is less sensitive to outliers than the average, comparing AVG vs. Median reveals whether a small number of very slow-healing wounds are skewing the average. |
| Count | The number of healed wounds of this type at this facility. A wound is counted as healed when its status is set to In Remission, Resolved or has an Area % Change ≤ −100%. |
Days to Heal Report (By DN)
Shows the same metrics aggregated across all active facilities in your practice. Use this module as a benchmark: if your By Facility's AVG for a wound type is significantly higher than the By DN average, that wound type may warrant a closer look at care protocols.
| Column | Description |
| Wound Type | The wound etiology across all facilities. |
| AVG | Average days to heal across the entire practice for this wound type. |
| Median | Median days to heal across the entire practice. |
| Count | Total count of healed wounds for this wound type across all active facilities in the practice. |
Export and Email Options
Each report module includes a toolbar in its top-right corner with options to export or share the data:
- Export to PDF/ XLSX— Downloads the visible table data as a PDF or spreadsheet file. The export respects all currently applied filters, so what you see is what you get in the file.
Tip: Apply and confirm your filters before exporting or emailing. The exported data always reflects the currently filtered view.
Key Definitions
- Healed wound (for this report): A wound whose status is In Remission, in Resolved status or where the wound's Area % Change ≤ −100% during the filtered date range (behavior differs if Report Current Wound Status checkbox is enabled).
-
Initial assessment: The first assessment recorded for a wound episode. AVG and Median calculations are based on the gap between the initial assessment creation date and the remission date.
