Plan the handoff with the receiving team.
Gateway works with case managers, social workers and discharge planners to coordinate wound-care follow-up with partner practices. The destination, existing clinicians and support available between visits shape the arrangements.
Information for the referral conversation.
- Anticipated discharge date, destination and direct team contact.
- Current wound orders, discharge summary and relevant treating clinicians.
- Nursing, home-health and family support already in place.
- Outstanding supply, follow-up or transportation arrangements.
Clinical records are exchanged through the agreed channel, not the public inquiry form.
Track the next step.
We help clarify who receives records, confirms the visit, handles supply requests and follows up with the patient or receiving facility. This work supports continuity and the discharge team’s effort to prevent avoidable readmissions.
