Same-week surgical access for complex wound referrals
Pillar 03 · FQHC & Large-Org Program

A wound‑care program
that lives inside
your medical home.

Not a referral channel. A built-in specialty program for FQHCs and community health systems. Embedded workflow, EMR integration, and outcomes reporting aligned to the risk you carry.

The difference
Every other mobile wound vendor is a referral channel. We operate as a wound-care program inside your FQHC — one clinical team across bedside, clinic, tele-wound, and our on-site OR.
Pillar 03 · FQHC program
How the program works

Four integration surfaces — not a spreadsheet once a quarter.

Wound care is typically a black box for FQHCs: patients get sent out, outcomes get lost, and the only data returning is a bill. Our program is built the other way around — the clinical record, the dashboard, and the risk signal all land inside your system.

01 · EMR integration

Structured notes, back in your record.

Every encounter — bedside, clinic, tele-wound, or OR — returns a structured note to your EMR (Epic, Cerner, athenahealth, eCW, NextGen, MatrixCare). Diagnosis codes, wound measurements, and care-plan updates hit the same chart your PCPs read every morning.

02 · Outcomes dashboards

A live view of the wound population.

A per-partner dashboard surfaces active wounds, healing trajectory, open-wound census, time-to-first-visit, and average time-to-closure. Filterable by site, clinician, payer, or diagnosis — built for QI, not billing.

03 · Risk stratification

Find the amputation-risk patient before the ED does.

Monthly risk stratification of your diabetic and PAD-heavy population surfaces the patients most likely to progress to hospitalization or amputation. Outreach targets are returned to your care-management team.

04 · Avoidable-admission signals

ED and inpatient utilization pulled forward.

We track which wound patients hit the ED, which were admitted, and whether the admission was preventable with earlier surgical intervention. That signal drives workflow changes — not another report.

The data loop

One continuous circuit — your workflow, our program, your record.

What the program delivers

Metrics your quality team already reports on.

We don't invent a new dashboard language. The program's outputs map directly to UDS for FQHCs, HEDIS-relevant categories, and the avoidable-utilization metrics that drive shared-savings and at-risk contracts.

Onboarding pathway

From kickoff to first outcomes report — ninety days.

We run the same playbook every time. No custom integration project. No year-long planning cycle. Clinical contact starts in week one; the first outcomes review lands inside three months.

  1. WEEK 1

    Clinical review & population mapping

    Working session with your CMO, chief of quality, and wound-care lead. We map your highest-acuity wound cohort, align on referral criteria, and confirm EMR and HIE integration points.

    • Population segmentation (DFU, VLU, PI, post-op)
    • Referral-criteria doc, co-signed
    • Named coordinator on both sides
  2. WEEK 2

    Workflow & integration build

    Referral and results workflow stood up against your intake — fax, EMR-direct, HL7, or FHIR depending on what you already run. We match your existing stack rather than asking you to learn ours.

    • EMR-direct or HIE-mediated routing
    • Structured note template aligned to your chart
    • Tele-wound access (Dr. Wounds) provisioned
  3. WEEKS 3–8

    Live caseload & first cohort

    Referrals start flowing. Bedside rounds at your partner SNFs / patient homes. Clinic and OR access same-week for acute escalations. Weekly huddles with your care-management team for the first six weeks.

    • Weekly case-review huddles
    • Same-week surgical access when indicated
    • Closed-loop note after every encounter
  4. MONTH 3

    First outcomes report & dashboard

    A structured report lands in front of your quality and operations leadership: volume, time-to-access, healing rate, avoidable-admission signals, and the utilization deltas your risk contracts care about. Dashboard access goes live for your team.

    • First quarterly outcomes review
    • Live partner dashboard
    • UDS / HEDIS extract on request
  5. ONGOING

    Quarterly quality reviews

    Joint quarterly reviews with your clinical and quality leadership. Drift in access times, outcomes, or referral patterns is caught early and fixed collaboratively — not in a year-end audit.

    • Quarterly business and quality review
    • Population re-stratification
    • Contract / risk alignment review
Value-based alignment

Wound care is one of the most expensive chronic categories FQHCs carry — and one of the least managed.

Medicaid-heavy FQHC populations over-index on diabetes, PAD, and chronic venous disease. Wound events drive some of the highest per-patient spend in the panel — through ED visits, inpatient admissions, and long SNF stays that wouldn't have happened with earlier surgical intervention.

1 · The program is ambulatory by design. Surgical care happens at our outpatient suite — not as a hospital admission. That's where your risk lives.

2 · One clinician across the continuum. The surgeon on your patient's case is the same clinician who rounded on them at bedside. Continuity is the literal same person.

3 · Data flows back, not just forward. Outcomes, risk signals, and dashboards live inside your system — so your quality team can use them.

4 · Aligned to the contracts you already hold. Shared savings, at-risk, primary-care capitation, Medicaid managed care — our metrics map to the numerators and denominators your actuary already tracks.

From the founder
The point isn’t to send more referrals. It’s to run one wound-care program — where our team and yours share a record, a dashboard, and an outcome.
