Wound Care Advantage: Managing Wound Care Centers For Over A Decade
Wound Care Advantage is a professional services wound care center consulting and wound care center management group aimed at helping medical centers, hospitals, and hyperbaric centers create and manage hyperbaric oxygen therapy and wound care healing programs. Our flexible model makes it easy for your hospital to develop and operate a wound healing center that both heals patients faster, and renders higher profit margins than was previously thought possible. Our emphasis on technology and our passion for healing make WCA the only choice when it comes to managing first-rate wound care centers throughout the US. View our six rules to live (and work) by to see if our approach to managed wound care centers makes sense to you.
For Existing Wound Care Centers: Making The Switch to Wound Care Advantage
It’s often the case that hospitals have had turn-key wound care centers developed by other wound care management companies. These wound care center companies are usually involved with a hospital’s wound care program from the beginning. At Wound Care Advantage we understand that it can be intimidating to run your center on your own. Moreover, there’s always the concern of having to supplant the tools that other wound care center companies may take with them when they leave.
It’s only natural that as a hospital executive or staff member, you want to avoid having a new wound care center management company come in and change what you’ve already invested time and money into. You understand the inherent risk of adding cost without obvious returns. At Wound Care Advantage, this is something we’ve taken into consideration.
For New Wound Care Centers: Let Wound Care Advantage Get Your Wound Care Center Rolling.
We like to compare the way we manage our wound care centers to teaching you how to ride a bike… I’ll explain. We put the bike together for you, training wheels and all. We show you how to get on the bike and get rolling. Pretty soon you’re ready for the next step, so we take off the training wheels and teach you how to balance. We run along side with you while you learn, correcting mistakes and making adjustments. Once you’ve got the hang of it, we stand back, provide guidance, and help you overcome new challenges along the way.Managing wound care centers can be tricky, difficult, and even risky if not done right. In our approach, we teach your staff about wound care while also making sure they understand the business elements involved in successfully running wound care centers. This ensures that your center accomplishes two objectives vital to wound care centers nation-wide: Your patient’s wounds heal properly and quickly, and your center generates revenue.
Flexibility is designed right into the core of our model so our programs can meet your specific needs. Furthermore, we don’t lock you into long-term contracts. We believe that our results speak for themselves, and our contracts reflect that (they can be as short as one year). We create tailor-made procedures and policies that fit your hospital’s unique needs, and these polices become your property, not ours. We recruit the physicians and staff, we design your wound care facility, and we make sure that the other departments in your hospital that will interact with your new wound care center are on the same page.
We help your hospital coordinate the purchase of necessary hyperbaric medical equipment, or we can provide you with the equipment and you can pay us back in increments. Members of your wound care team and hospital staff will be brought to Los Angeles for what we call, Wound Care Boot Camp. Wound Care Boot Camp includes hands-on training in one of our existing and most successful wound care centers. We teach you and your team how to use our proprietary management suite, eWound, our EMR system, as well as our tele-presence network. These tools are unique to Wound Care Advantage and truly provide the backbone of our cloud-based wound care approach. We strive to provide wound care centers with the best tools and latest technology so that they can operate more efficiently, heal wounds faster, and generate higher financial returns in less time.

eWound: Wound Care Centers Will Never Be The Same
Wound care centers that implement eWound and WCA’s unique wound care center management principles have a distinct advantage. All of your wound care center’s operations are tracked and audited daily. Each major measure of your wound care center program can be recalled and looked at by the administrative stakeholders at your clinic or hospital through our proprietary eWound analytics dashboard. This resource-rich system has been designed to predict issues within your wound care centers before they occur. Financial audits are conducted each month, and your team is informed of new updates as they happen. Each year throughout the contract our fees to your hospital decrease, as our hands-on participation evolves to a more “virtual” approach. This means that our costs go down, and we believe yours should too!At the end of our contract, we can easily move to a low management fee which allows your staff continuous access to our resources and tools with nominal financial impact. Naturally, there are a number of other details that should be discussed, so if you have any questions, we would love to hear from you. We encourage you to contact us via the contact form on the right side of the page, or you can call us right away at (888) 484-3922 (888 9WOUNDS) to speak to any of our team members. We’re always happy to help! You can learn more about WCA by visiting our official Wound Care Centers website here.
