Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society Accreditation
The Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) is the primary organization that accredits hyperbaric facilities, including wound care clinics that utilize hyperbaric oxygen therapy. UHMS accreditation demonstrates that a facility meets high standards of patient care and safety, and it can also help with reimbursement and access to funding.
Key points about UHMS accreditation:
Focus on Hyperbaric Facilities
UHMS accreditation specifically targets facilities that offer hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which is often used in wound care for its healing properties.
Standards of Care
Accreditation signifies that a facility has met rigorous standards related to patient care, safety, equipment, staff training, and overall quality.
Benefits of Accreditation
UHMS accreditation can improve patient and staff safety, attract more patients, assist in securing reimbursement, and enhance the facility's reputation.
International Recognition
The UHMS accreditation program is considered a gold standard and has internationally accepted standards.
Our Services
Depending on the type, length of time and medical conditions, wounds may take an average of 8 to 12 weeks to heal. Our staff is specially trained to provide the highest standard of care to help you get back to living your life to the fullest.
After an initial evaluation, we provide each person with an individualized plan to help heal these difficult wounds, using serial digital photo records for wound assessment and management.
Most people have no problem healing. However, there are times when complications cause wounds to last weeks to years. Our center specializes in addressing all the possible causes to help you heal and prevent other wounds from forming or coming back.
Patients often go years without healing due to improperly addressing the venous pressure and disease. Ulcers in the middle to lower leg caused by trauma or those that spontaneously form due to varicose veins respond markedly to consistent compression. Compression wraps are a solution to provide consistent compression to help ulcers heal.
Hyperbaric medicine has been studied to be effective in a variety of specific wound types. We only treat indications currently approved by the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) and Medicare.
Having an ostomy, especially if unplanned, is a very difficult and emotional life-altering development. Our staff understands the unique challenges (both mental and physical) associated with managing an ostomy and can help educate and troubleshoot the best solutions and products for your particular situation.
Most wounds will heal with careful conservative care. However, there are instances where the body cannot provide local growth factors required for healing due to certain underlying medical conditions.
If wounds fail to heal, our clinic uses several types of “skin substitutes” that provide growth factors and a scaffolding to promote healing.
These come from varying sources, including placenta, umbilical cord and other mammalian cells. Application of these products can jump start wounds to help them heal.
