“When AtlantiCare and Heartland Health were evaluated for the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, DCS' 2009 data were considered”
- Carly Manne, Program Director
Atlanticare
As a reflection of Diversified Clinical Services' (DCS) own high clinical and operational quality standards, it's not surprising to see many of America's top hospitals in the DCS network, comprised of more than 300 Wound Care Centers.® By partnering with America's leaders in healthcare, DCS' standards for quality are fully incorporated in each Wound Care Center, and patient and financial outcomes are maximized for each hospital.
"Everyone at the Center is oriented towards getting wounds to heal and the total care of the patient… we stay in contact with the patient's physicians, whether it's their primary care physician or endocrinologist or orthopedic surgeon or vascular surgeon, to make sure everybody is on the same page"
–Warren Patterson, MD
Plastic Surgeon
After fifteen years of operating a wound program, Baptist Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee chose to optimize the program by partnering with Diversified Clinical Services in 2004. Since initiating this partnership, Baptist Hospital's Wound Care Center® has achieved healing rates as high as 92.6%.
"The biggest value of having a hospital-based Wound Care Center is the ability to refer from within to our own specialists."
- Gwen Delbridge
Wound Care Coordinator
Through its "No Ulcers Campaign," the New Jersey Hospital Association (NJHA) is making a concentrated effort to reduce the painful, life-altering effects of pressure ulcers. Since inception, it estimates a 70 percent reduction in pressure ulcer incidence, as well as a 30 percent decrease in pressure ulcer prevalence.
"We've been very impressed with Diversified Services. The hospital appreciates the thorough training process offered by Diversified Clinical Services, as well as the integration of the Wound Care Center® into the hospital's overall operations."
- Don Henderson,
CEO Jackson Hospital
A year after Jackson Hospital in Montgomery, Alabama opened the region's first formalized outpatient program for wound healing, the hospital has realized a greater-than-expected increase in healing rates, exceeded its expected revenues and has provided world class care that was previously unavailable anywhere in the region.
"Our clinical outcomes have been tremendous. They've been well above the national benchmarks for wound healing, with a greater than 90 percent healing rate within 24 days."
- Thomas Woodard
Program Director
Since opening The Wound Care Center in 2006, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital at Rahway has exceeded its own goals, and outperformed many national benchmarks. In the last year alone, the Wound Care Center has served more than 350 new patients; 28% above its budgeted volume.
Through their partnership with Diversified Clinical Services, Inc., the facility's clinical results have also exceeded expectations. According to the Center's program director, Ann Lubas, "Our clinical outcomes have been tremendous. They've been well above the national benchmarks for wound healing, with a greater than 88 percent healing rate within 21 days." The facility's average of 21 days-to-healing surpasses the national average by a full two weeks as measured by Diversified Clinical Services. And the center's healing rate exceeds the overall national rate for a center in its first two years of operation.
