Home wound assessment
Focused wound and periwound assessment, measurements, drainage review, skin integrity evaluation, and documentation.
PHWC works alongside primary care teams to support patients who need wound assessment, dressing-plan reinforcement, caregiver education, and coordinated follow-up in the home setting.
Primary care teams often identify wounds first but may not have the capacity for frequent home-based wound follow-up. PHWC can help close that gap while keeping the referring team informed.
Focused wound and periwound assessment, measurements, drainage review, skin integrity evaluation, and documentation.
Reinforce dressing instructions, offloading or pressure-reduction strategies, and caregiver understanding when clinically appropriate.
Communicate important changes back to the appropriate provider and support timely next-step planning.
Your team identifies a patient who would benefit from wound-focused home support.
Provide the available order, wound information, payer information, and relevant care-plan documentation.
We review the referral, contact the patient or caregiver, and confirm the appropriate next step.
Relevant wound findings and care coordination are communicated according to the patient’s plan and referral pathway.
