Handled.
Discharged patients with unresolved wounds are at risk for readmission. Wound Care Specialists provides post-discharge wound care that closes the gap between hospital and home.
Your case managers and discharge planners do the hard work of getting patients to the right level of care at the right time. But when a patient has a chronic or complex wound, the options get thin.
Home health can manage basic wound care, but not every wound responds to basic treatment. SNFs handle some cases, but not every patient needs a facility stay. And without a clear wound care plan after discharge, healing stalls, complications develop, and patients end up back in your beds.
There's a better path forward.
Chronic and complex wounds don't fit neatly into standard discharge plans. Your team is left patching together referrals that weren't built for specialized wound care.
When wound care falls through the cracks post-discharge, healing stalls. Infections develop. Patients return. Every readmission is a cost to your system and a setback for the patient.
Your team delivered high-quality inpatient care. But without a wound-specific handoff, that progress can unravel within weeks of discharge.
Wound Care Specialists gives your discharge team a direct referral path for patients with chronic and complex wounds. We're a team of certified wound care specialists who treat wounds using advanced therapies, including biologic skin grafts, wherever your patients go after discharge.
Whether a patient is heading home, to a family member's residence, or to a post-acute facility, we come to them. Your team makes the referral. We handle the wound care from there.
The goal is simple: get the wound healing before it becomes a reason for readmission. And when patients are also receiving home health services, we coordinate directly with their home health team so nothing falls through the cracks.
You'll have full visibility into treatment progress. We chart everything, communicate with your care coordination team, and provide outcome reporting so you always know where your patients stand.
No contracts. No lengthy onboarding. Just a referral form that connects your patient to a certified wound care specialist.
Your case manager or discharge planner submits a referral through our secure, HIPAA-compliant form. It takes less than two minutes. Our team reviews it within 24 hours.
A certified specialist visits the patient wherever they've been discharged to. We assess the wound, develop a treatment plan, and begin care. If home health is involved, we coordinate with their team directly.
Ongoing treatment with regular progress updates to your care coordination team. You stay informed. Your patients heal. And they stay out of the hospital.
If you have a patient with a chronic or complex wound heading home or to a post-acute facility, we're ready to help. This form is secure, HIPAA-compliant, and takes less than two minutes.
