Wound VAC follow-up at home and in facilities.

What the care plan considers

Wound VAC therapy needs a clear plan for the wound, dressings and device. Gateway supports follow-up when negative pressure wound therapy is part of an established treatment order.

• Review of wound progress
• Dressing, device and drainage concerns
• Coordination with home health or facility nursing
• Communication with the clinician responsible for the order

Hospital and SNF teams, physician practices, patients and families can contact Gateway. Our team reviews the care need, location and coverage before confirming acceptance and visit arrangements.

Where care takes place

Our focus is St. Louis and surrounding communities. Depending on the patient’s needs and visit availability, care may take place in private homes, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living or another appropriate setting.
