A plan for the transition home
A patient may be ready to leave the hospital and still need ongoing wound care. Gateway works with discharge teams to review the wound-care needs, destination and follow-up requirements before an appointment is arranged.
Information that helps us review the referral
- Discharge destination, city or ZIP, and anticipated discharge date
- A direct contact for the social worker, discharge planner or case manager
- Current wound orders, discharge summary and involved clinicians, shared through the agreed referral channel
- Home health, facility nursing and caregiver support already in place
Keep the care team connected
Gateway coordinates with referring clinicians, surgeons, facility teams and home health as appropriate. We explain what records are needed and whether the requested visit can be arranged.
How to refer a patient
- Call 314-325-0126 or request a referral callback with your direct contact details.
- Share the patient’s city or ZIP, current care setting and requested timing.
- Our team explains how to provide clinical records and reviews care needs, coverage and availability.
- Confirm acceptance and the follow-up plan with Gateway before relying on a scheduled visit.
