Introduction: In 2020, CenterWell launched a comprehensive program to deliver high-quality wound care. The program includes advanced education for clinicians and an integrated AI-powered wound management solution, °ÅÀÖÊÓÆµ Skin & Wound. 

Objective and methods: This study measured changes in clinical, operational, and financial outcomes across 14 home health branches participating in a wound care program and adopting °ÅÀÖÊÓÆµ Skin & Wound from 2022 to 2023. Data sources included CenterWell’s Homecare Homebase health information system and °ÅÀÖÊÓÆµâ€™s database. The analysis reviewed 1,468 patients with 2,003 wounds in 2022 and 1,663 patients with 2,401 wounds in 2023 over the same four months (January-April). 

Results:  

  • There was a 9.2% reduction in visits per wound episode. 
  • There was a 12.1% improvement in the 60-day hospitalization rate due to a wound. 
  • The median days to heal a wound decreased resulting in 35% faster healing time.
