Learn moreWhy refer
Mobile specialty wound care with communication back to the care team.
Wounds get worse when nobody owns the next step. Gateway focuses on timely evaluation, reduced transportation barriers, care coordination, collaborative communication, and continuity across homes, facilities, physician offices, home health, and discharge pathways.
The best referrals are not about volume. They are about patients whose wounds need organized follow-up, better documentation, or a practical bedside plan.
Referral process
Simple enough for a busy discharge desk or facility team.
Start with the basics. Gateway can then route the case, ask for what is missing, and coordinate next steps.
1. Share the location
Home, SNF, rehab, assisted living, hospital discharge, physician office, city, zip, or facility name.
2. Identify the wound problem
Diabetic foot ulcer, pressure injury, venous ulcer, surgical wound, wound VAC, graft site, skin tear, or other wound.
3. Name the best contact
Patient, family, facility nurse, discharge planner, physician office, home health agency, or case manager.
4. Gateway follows up
Gateway reviews fit, asks for needed information, and keeps the right people connected around the next step.
Compliance posture
Gateway does not buy referrals or offer payment for patient volume. Referral relationships must be based on patient need, medical necessity, documentation, patient choice, and appropriate care-team communication.
