Wound referral checklist for discharge planners.

Before you connect

• Begin with your organization, direct contact, patient city or ZIP, care setting and anticipated discharge timing.
• Identify the receiving facility or home contact and the clinicians already involved.
• Ask Gateway how to provide discharge notes, current wound orders and other requested records securely.
• Confirm referral acceptance, visit availability and the next responsible contact before finalizing follow-up arrangements.
• Keep patient names, diagnoses, photographs and clinical records out of the public callback form.
