Frequently Asked Questions
How does a Televisit for wound care work?
A Televisit is a virtual consultation with a wound care specialist through a secure online platform. You’ll need a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera and microphone, as well as a stable internet connection. During the session, the specialist will assess your wound, provide treatment recommendations, and offer step-by-step guidance on wound care. If necessary, they may adjust your care plan or coordinate further medical support.
Can Televisit replace in-person wound care?
Televisit is a great alternative for routine check-ups, follow-ups, and guidance on wound management, but it does not completely replace in-person care. Some conditions, such as severe infections or complex wound dressings, may still require hands-on treatment from a healthcare provider. However, Televisit can reduce the frequency of in-person visits while ensuring you receive expert oversight and support.
What types of wounds can be monitored through Televisit?
Televisit is effective for chronic wounds, post-surgical wounds, diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers, minor burns, and skin infections. It is especially helpful for patients needing regular monitoring and expert recommendations without frequent clinic or hospital visits. If a wound worsens or requires specialized intervention, the provider may recommend an in-person evaluation.
What equipment do I need for a Televisit?
To participate in a Televisit, you will need:
- A smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera and microphone.
- A stable internet connection for clear video communication.
- Adequate lighting to ensure the wound is visible during the consultation. If possible, a family member or caregiver to assist with camera positioning and following instructions.
How often should I schedule a Televisit for wound care?
The frequency of Televisits depends on the type, severity, and healing progress of your wound. For chronic wounds, post-surgical wounds, or diabetic ulcers, regular check-ins (such as weekly or biweekly visits) may be recommended to ensure proper healing and prevent complications. If any signs of infection, increased pain, or delayed healing occur, a follow-up Televisit should be scheduled immediately. Your provider will personalize the visit schedule based on your specific needs to ensure you receive the best care possible.
