MEDICAL SERVICES
Wound Providers of America is a medical group comprised of Nurse Practitioners and Advanced Practice Registered Nurses providing integrated wound and foot care services in skilled nursing facilities, other long-term care facilities, hospitals, and outpatient clinics.
Wound Providers of America is committed to compassionate care, ongoing improvement, and collaborative teamwork with care facilities.
WOUND CARE
Types of Wounds Treated
Our medical providers develop care plans in conjunction with partner facility staff and treat a broad range of wounds including:
Pressure ulcers
Diabetic/neuropathic wounds
Venous ulcers and arterial wounds
Wounds that are not healing
Post-surgical wounds
Wounds that are causing pain
Amputations
Treatment and Prevention
Our medical providers, each with extensive experience and training, round weekly with partner facility staff implementing treatment plans to improve wound healing rates.
Our medical providers provide consultation to facility staff on prevention of wounds, pressure-relieving devices, and properly selecting and applying wound dressings including negative pressure and wound vac therapies.
For wounds that contain non-living (necrotic) tissue, our medical providers will debride tissue from the wound to speed the healing process. Such procedures can be performed safely and comfortably at the patient’s bedside in lieu of transporting the patient to a hospital wound clinic.
In certain situations with non-healing wounds, our medical providers may recommend and use biologic skin grafts, which are reimbursable by Medicare and are not an added cost to the facility.
Telehealth
Our state-of-the-art and HIPAA-compliant technology allows our medical providers to conduct telehealth consultations for situations when the provider cannot be at the bedside.
FOOT CARE
As the foot is often the first area to show signs of serious conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, we will diagnose and treat all foot problems with a focus on prevention of wounds.
Our medical providers will diagnose the feet with an initial comprehensive examination and then treat acute and chronic foot disorders resulting from injury, disease, and age.
Types of Foot Disorders Treated
Our medical providers develop care plans in conjunction with partner facility staff and treat a broad range of at-risk foot disorders including:
Nails and calluses
Ingrown nails
Corns and bunions
Foot pain
Infections
Foot problems associated with diabetes and other diseases, including vascular disease
Arch problems
Other dermatologic problems of the feet
