Delivering Specialist Care to Residential Aged Care
It is Wound Innovations’ core goal to improve clinical outcomes for individuals living with wounds and stoma. To achieve this, we understand the need to improve the knowledge of those caring for these individuals and their wounds and stoma, so we work with the patient and their Aged Care facility to develop a specialised plan of wound or stoma care.
Onsite Facility Consultations
During the consultation, a holistic assessment is undertaken utilising all relevant clinical information. Where appropriate further investigations can be carried out on-site to better inform this assessment and support treatment planning.
Wound Innovations also offer upskilling of staff by way of bedside coaching/clinical mentoring. This is done by way of a staff member being present during the consultations and observing our clinical team.
Telehealth Consultations
Wound Innovations offers a telehealth service particularly for patients living in regional, rural or remote areas and for those who find it difficult to access specialist services.
Telehealth consultations are carried out remotely using videoconferencing or over the telephone.
Following each consultation:
With the consent of the patient, Wound Innovations provides the aged care facility, and any other health professionals involved in the patient’s care, with a detailed Wound Management or Stoma Care Plan outlining our assessment findings, diagnosis, treatment and recommendations for follow up care.
Wound Innovations staff will then recommend a further course of treatment that may include one or more of the following services:
- Review Appointments
- Product recommendations such as dressings, skin care treatments, mattresses, nutritional supplements.
