Preventable Wounds Are Costing Texas Patients Their Health and Facilities Their Reputation
Summary: Agape Life Multicultural Services (ALMS) is expanding its mobile wound care services across Texas, aiming to reduce hospital readmissions and improve outcomes by delivering wound care where patients live—homes, nursing facilities, rehab programs, etc. They emphasize early intervention (within days of hospital discharge) to prevent complications in chronic, diabetic, pressure, and surgical wounds.
Key Highlights:
- ALMS is now serving areas including Mansfield, Dallas, Arlington, Grand Prairie, and others.
- The model involves seeing discharged patients within the critical 7–14-day window to avoid wound deterioration that leads to readmission.
- Focus is on both prevention and early treatment to reduce burden on hospitals and improve patient quality of life.
- The expansion includes working with skilled nursing, assisted living, home health, LTACs, and rehab facilities to close gaps in care continuum.
