Revolutionizing Wound Care: A Cost-Effective Solution for Healthcare Providers

As healthcare professionals, providing efficient and cost-effective care for your patients can be both a priority and a challenge. If wound care is a significant part of your practice, Amputation Prevention Experts (APEX) Health Network offers a specialized solution that can improve patient outcomes, increase practice revenue and reduce costs. By partnering with APEX Health Network, you can offer advanced wound care treatments that have traditionally been available primarily at hospital-based wound care centers.

Our Wound Care Strategy: Personalized & Patient-Centered

APEX Health Network provides management of comprehensive wound care centers, both freestanding and hospital-based, that focuses on evidence-based protocols that promote optimal healing with efficiency and cost-effective solutions. If you develop a wound care program, APEX would become your partner in ensuring compliance and success.

When a patient presents at your wound care clinic, the following is a typical process:

  1. Initial Evaluation & Assessment: Each new wound care case begins with a detailed assessment of the wound(s) and the patient’s overall health. This evaluation helps the provider determine the most likely causes for delayed healing.
  2. Comprehensive Lifestyle & Health History Review: It is vital when formulating a treatment plan to first delve into the nuances of the patient’s overall health, co-morbidities and history, including compliance with medication regimens and prior wound treatments. These factors can significantly affect the treatment plan and healing process, so understanding them is crucial for a successful outcome
  3. Targeted Treatment Plan: Based on the findings from the assessment, your team tailors a treatment plan that best supports healing. This may include:
  • Surgical debridement
  • Revascularization procedure
  • Infection control and prevention
  • Specialized wound dressings
  • Lifestyle and nutritional advice to support healing
  • Offloading/Pressure relief (surgical or other)

A comprehensive, personalized care plan that accelerates recovery and maximizes quality of life.

Types of Wounds We Treat

Your wound care center should be staffed by providers of different subspecialties in order to be able to treat many types of chronic wounds. However, the most commonly treated include:

  • Pressure Ulcers 
  • Diabetic Foot Ulcers
  • Arterial/Ischemic Ulcers
  • Venous Ulcers: Skin ulcers that result from poor circulation in the veins, commonly affecting the lower legs.
  • Non-healing Post Operative Wounds 

By offering a dedicated facility in which to treat wounds, along with advanced products and access to expedient interventions, you can ensure your patients receive the highest standard of care, leading to quicker healing and higher satisfaction rates.

We understand that providing the best care for your patients is your top priority. Our wound care service can be an addition to your existing practice, offering the following benefits:

  • Convenience and comfort: Your patients can receive wound care in a setting that is friendly, comfortable, familiar, cost effective and efficient
