Top 5 Reasons to Choose Mobile Wound Care

1. No Travel Required for People Who Struggle to Leave Home

For millions of older adults, getting to a doctor's office can be difficult. Coordinating mobile care can eliminate the need for an additional trip by allowing an independent provider to meet the patient in their care environment when appropriate and available.

2. Home-Based Care Has Been Linked to Fewer ER Visits and Hospitalizations

Research involving home-based primary care programs has found reductions in emergency department visits and hospitalizations.^[2]

This research is about home-based primary care generally, not wound care specifically. It is not research about Mobile Wound Care, mobile wound care, or any provider connected through the platform. These figures are not outcomes that Mobile Wound Care or any mobile wound care provider can promise or guarantee.

3. Fewer Trips to Clinics and Hospitals

Receiving appropriate care at home can reduce the need for some trips to institutional healthcare settings, which may also reduce exposure to risks associated with those environments.^[3]

This does not mean home care prevents infection. Mobile Wound Care makes no claim that scheduling a visit at home prevents infections, complications, or any other health risk.

4. One Less Stressful Trip for Family Caregivers to Coordinate

Traveling to medical appointments can involve transportation, mobility assistance, time away from work, and other logistics for family caregivers. When an appointment can take place in the patient's care environment, that's one less trip for caregivers to coordinate.

5. Care That Works Around the Patient

Mobile appointments can offer a more convenient option for patients who have difficulty traveling. Mobile Wound Care helps coordinate appointments with independent, licensed mobile wound care providers in the patient's area. It does not control a provider's clinical schedule and cannot guarantee appointment availability or specific appointment times.
