Hospice Wound Management
Gentell’s Hospice Wound Management Program is a personalized wound care product program for patients on hospice. Gentell provides efficient, affordable, patient specific wound treatments to patients in nursing homes, hospices, hospitals and other settings. We employ clinical specialists to assist with treatment recommendations and provide education about the proper utilization of wound care products, which are paid for by the hospice in accordance with Medicare regulations.
Hospice patients have unique needs when it comes to wound care. Comfort, infection-prevention and efficiency of treatment are paramount at this stage of life. Gentell’s Hospice Program provides patient-specific wound treatments that focus on these needs.
Supplies are clinically tailored to meet the unique needs of hospice patients and are shipped in patient-specific packages. Our program empowers hospice service providers to provide advanced wound care treatments while controlling costs and inventory for the hospice.
The characteristics of the wound dictate the products provided through the Hospice Wound Management Program. Gentell follows the recommendations of the National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel (NPIAP), the moist wound healing technique, and Medicare and other insurance guidelines. Our wound and product specialists provide clinical support, treatment recommendations and education about the proper selection and utilization of wound care supplies.
