Value Pillars for Referring Providers
We act as an extension of your practice — protecting your reputation and clinical outcomes.
Improved Healing Rates
Evidence-based protocols, consistent monitoring, and advanced therapies delivered in a low-infection home environment translate to faster healing and fewer hospital readmissions. Your patients receive wound center-level care without leaving home.
Seamless Collaboration
We work within your existing treatment framework. Coordination with home health agencies, physical therapy, and specialty consults happens through you — never around you. Our role is to complement, not complicate, your patient's care team.
Clinical Communication
You receive comprehensive visit notes within 24 hours of each encounter, with objective measurements, photography, and clear clinical rationale. We coordinate specialist referrals and keep you informed throughout the process, protecting your patient relationships and professional reputation.

Referral Process
Submit Referral
Phone, fax, or secure message. Include basic wound description, relevant diagnoses, current medications, and any wound care orders you've already written. We'll handle insurance verification.
Initial Assessment
We schedule within 48-72 hours for routine wounds, same/next day for urgent cases. Comprehensive assessment includes wound staging, vascular status, infection screening, and treatment plan development.
Ongoing Care & Updates
Regular visits per protocol (typically weekly to bi-weekly). You receive visit summaries with wound progression, interventions performed, and any concerns. We contact you directly for significant changes requiring your input.
Escalation When Needed
If we identify need for vascular intervention, infectious disease consultation, or surgical debridement, we communicate immediately and coordinate specialist referrals per your preference.
Treatment Protocols & Standards
Our wound care protocols follow evidence-based guidelines from WOCN (Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nurses Society) and AAWC (Association for the Advancement of Wound Care). All interventions are documented with clear clinical rationale.
Assessment Standards
- • Comprehensive wound measurement (length x width x depth)
- • Photographic documentation at baseline and monthly
- • Wound bed assessment (granulation, slough, eschar %)
- • Periwound skin evaluation
- • Exudate characterization
- • Pain assessment at each visit
Intervention Standards
- • Sterile technique for all procedures
- • Evidence-based dressing selection
- • Sharp debridement when indicated (within scope)
- • Infection management per culture results
- • Offloading/compression per wound etiology
- • Patient/caregiver education documented
Communication & Reporting
You receive visit notes within 24 hours of each encounter. Notes include objective wound measurements, interventions performed, patient tolerance, and plan for next visit.
Immediate Contact Triggers: We contact you directly (not just in chart notes) for: signs of systemic infection, rapid wound deterioration, suspected osteomyelitis, critical limb ischemia indicators, non-adherence concerns, or patient request to discontinue care.
