WOUND CARE
Wound care is one of the services of home health care that really differentiates one agency from the next. It is a very tedious and expensive process that many agencies run away from because they do not determine it financially benefitting, or because they do not want to be held liable/accountable to the client.
When performed by a caring, experienced, and patient nurse with assistive staff, astounding results can be ascertained. This service is normally ordered when wounds have already gotten to a bad stage, and are growing exponentially (in the case of acute injuries). Common wounds leading to home care orders are:
Acute injuries from accidents from falls and cuts, to car accidents.
Post surgical lesions and infections.
Infections from fugal, viral, or bacterial.
Burns, chemical and heat related.
Bedsores
