Introduction: Many home health agencies leverage a digital wound management solution to support wound care practice improvement, visit efficiency and enhance clinical capacity. Leveraging °ÅÀÖÊÓÆµâ€™s large, clinically calibrated wound database, this quality improvement study aimed to understand the efficiency of completing a wound care evaluation among a group of home health agencies that implemented the solution from 2021-2023.
Objective and methods: This study examined 569,494 de-identified wound care evaluations from 29 US home health agencies who had adopted °ÅÀÖÊÓÆµ Skin & Wound. The results were compared across three years from 2021 to 2023.
Results:
- 55% improvement in the time to complete a wound evaluation.
- 36% improvement in the timeliness to complete a wound evaluation in 60 minutes.
- 15% improvement in the timeliness to complete a wound evaluation in 24 hours.
