How Mobile Wound Care Prevents Hospital Readmissions
Reimagining recovery for patients with chronic wounds
When someone goes to the emergency room for a wound, it’s often just the beginning of a long and costly journey. Many patients are discharged with basic instructions, only to return days or weeks later with worsened wounds, infections or complications that could have been avoided.
At Chicago Mobile Health, we bridge that critical gap between hospital discharge and long-term healing, right in the patient’s home or facility.
Why Hospital Readmissions Happen
Chronic wounds are one of the top reasons for hospital readmissions among seniors and patients with chronic illnesses like:
Diabetes
Heart failure
Peripheral artery disease
Pressure-related immobility
Here's the cycle we aim to break:
ER visit or short hospital stay for wound care
Discharge with limited follow-up or outpatient access
Wound worsens due to lack of specialist care
Rehospitalization with higher risks and costs
The Hidden Cost of Wound-Related Readmissions
Readmissions don’t just affect patients’ health, they:
Increase the risk of infection or amputation
Contribute to emotional stress and caregiver burnout
Drive up Medicare and facility costs
Strain overburdened hospital systems
Many readmissions are preventable with early, consistent, in-home care.
How Mobile Wound Care Changes the Outcome
How Mobile Wound Care Changes the Outcome
Chicago Mobile Health brings advanced, clinical wound care directly to patients where they live, in their home, assisted living facility or skilled nursing center.
We help keep patients out of the hospital by providing:
Weekly, on-site wound assessments and treatments
Use of CAMPs (Cellular and Matrix-Based Products) and CPTs
Monitoring for signs of infection, poor circulation, or delayed healing
Care coordination with home health nurses, PCPs, and specialists
Early post-discharge visits within 24–72 hours
Real Results: Continuity Prevents Crisis

Our approach ensures that no wound is ignored or misunderstood. That continuity of care:
Promotes faster healing times
Reduces complications and ER visits
Improves patient safety and comfort
Lowers the likelihood of hospital bounce-backs
For many patients, this is the difference between amputation and full recovery.
