Refer a Patient

Send the practical referral details.

This is for referral sources. Families and patients can use the Request Care form instead.

What to share first

The minimum useful information.

Keep it simple. The goal is to understand where the patient is, what the wound is doing, and who can answer questions quickly.

Patient location

Home, facility, hospital discharge, physician office, city, zip, or facility name.

Wound concern

Diabetic foot ulcer, pressure injury, venous ulcer, surgical wound, wound VAC, graft site, skin tear, or other wound.

Care team

Primary care, surgeon, podiatry, vascular, home health, facility nurse, case manager, or family contact.

Urgency

What changed, what failed, what is worrying the caregiver, and whether emergency care is needed.
