Manage Wound Care via Telehealth Consultation
At Preferred Healthcare, telehealth consults are a valuable remote addition to a comprehensive wound care plan. Using our secure digital platform, patients can receive support at every stage of their healing journey. Here are some ways we use virtual visits to support patient care.
Wound Assessment
We may use telehealth services to make an initial wound assessment and provide basic wound care advice. Depending on the severity of the wound, our team may need to visit your residence or local healthcare facility to deliver treatment.
Monitor Progress
Following an in-person visit, we may recommend telehealth consults to monitor progress. Virtual consultations are a convenient way to evaluate the condition of the ulcer or injury.
Wound Care Guidance
Caring for your wound is important to achieve the most rapid, infection-free healing. And telehealth is an effective way to offer guidance and education on wound care best practices.
Treatment Plan Review
For chronic wounds and ulcers that take considerable time to heal, virtual appointments can determine how the treatment plan is working, and identify whether any adjustments are needed.
How the Telehealth Wound Care Process Works
Managing an ulcer requires a personalized approach tailored to ulcer type and severity. The following stages are standard in many telehealth consultations.
- The healthcare provider assesses the wound via a video call.
- Patient answers questions about wound cleaning, general care and healing progress.
- We offer guidance on wound management and post-surgical care.
- Our team may advise on the need for an in-person visit.
While all treatments are conducted during mobile visits, telehealth is an important related service to help prevent complications and ensure the wound is healing.
