A Wound Care Program Built Around Skilled Nursing
Crescent Wound Care combines direct physician care, consistent in-person rounds, bedside treatment, same-day documentation, and ongoing support for your facility team.
Our physicians stay involved beyond the visit, helping with clinical questions, changes in condition, documentation, education, and complex wound care needs as they arise.
How Rounds Work
Crescent Wound Care goal is to make wound care straightforward for both the resident and the facility team.
Resident Identification
Residents who require wound care are identified by the facility team and added for physician evaluation.
Scheduling
Our Crescent Wound Care physician rounds on a consistent schedule coordinated with the facility.
Physician Evaluation
The physician evaluates the resident in person, reviews the clinical history, and assesses factors that may affect wound healing.
Wound Assessment
Each wound is assessed for size, depth, tissue characteristics, drainage, surrounding skin, signs of infection, and overall progression.
Treatment Plan
The physician develops or adjusts the treatment plan based on the resident's current clinical needs and response to care.
Bedside Procedures
When clinically appropriate, procedures such as debridement or other wound-related interventions may be performed during the visit.
Communication With Nursing
The physician works directly with the treatment nurse and facility team to review findings, recommendations, and any changes to the plan of care.
Same-Day Documentation
Clinical documentation is completed on the day of the visit and made available to the facility through Crescent's wound care EMR and applicable facility integrations.
Ongoing Follow-Up
Wounds are followed consistently so progress, changes, and treatment response can be evaluated over time.
Between Rounds
Wounds don't always wait for the next visit.
When concerns arise between rounds, contact Crescent Wound Care for timely clinical guidance and support.
We can assist with:
- New wounds or skin concerns
