Treatment & Provider Agencies

CSU Health partners with Long-term care Provider Agencies (Rehabilitation, Skilled Nursing, Assisted Living, Independent Living, Home Health, and Hospice facilities) to ensure optimal care is provided. Provider Agencies find peace comes in knowing they have taken every measure to ensure the health and well-being of the population they serve. 

 
Residents in Long-term care are generally elderly, frail individuals who are vulnerable to the development of pressure ulcers due to immobility, presence of comorbidities, and nutritional factors. The incidence is higher in patients who are immobile (16% vs 11% for mobile residents). Given the high incidence of chronic wounds in patients, the importance of effective wound care in long-term facilities to promote wound healing cannot be understated. A comprehensive wound care program in long-term care facilities is vital. 

 
Skilled Nursing and Home Health agencies face challenges when treating wounds in patients that has cancer, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, poor nutrition, impaired mobility, and deteriorating cognition and other underlined medical conditions. Reassessing stalled wounds after 30 days of treatment and ensuring the continuum of treatments are performed by specialty providers is a legal obligation. 

 
The concept of "skin failure" describes the failure of skin to perform its normal barrier function, and as a result, leads to susceptibility to bacterial invasion. The diabetic and geriatric population is especially susceptible to skin failure and subsequent development of pressure ulcer, in addition to pressure ulcers, the other common types of ulcers include venous, arterial neuropathic ulcers. Subject to the patients’ medical conditions, some wounds take considerably more time to heal and are more prone to complications. Therefore, regular wound care under the guidance and supervision of wound care specialists is critical. Acute and chronic wounds should be treated by specialist. Home Health and skilled nursing agencies assumes the legal liabilities and put themselves at risk when they are not trained to treat acute and chronic wounds. 

 
With the increasing number of patients enduring depression, long suffering, amputation, infections, and deaths Providers are contracting with CSU Health mobile wound care clinic to provide point-of-care. CSU Health, specializes in treating chronic wounds, using innovative technologies that promote rapid healing and we provide optimal treatment to populations often overlooked without creating a financial hardship on an already burdened industry of providers.
