Enabling care outside the hospital

Hospitals and clinicians may need to transition patients to their homes sooner than expected to help free up hospital space and resources. These transitions also prevent healthcare practitioners and potential at-risk patients from being exposed to viruses and other illnesses.

But, for some patients, access to wound care clinics or home health visits may now be disrupted. We’re here to help enable, navigate and empower continued care for your patients outside of the hospital.
Helping reduce the risk of secondary complications and minimize inefficiencies

We recognize that you’re being asked to do far more with far less right now, and protecting health care providers with PPE continues to be our top priority. We’re also here to support you by helping to reduce the risk of secondary complications and minimize inefficiencies with guidelines, best practices and resources so that you can focus on what matters most – providing care to your patients.
