What You Can Fax to Wound Care Zone

  • A debridement or procedure note after a visit
  • A home-health wound-care and dressing-change order to the visiting-nurse agency
  • A progress summary back to the endocrinologist or primary-care physician
  • A total-contact cast or offloading order to the DME supplier
  • A wound-assessment note with the Wagner grade, measurements, and photo documentation
Tip: Put the patient's name, date of birth, and the referring provider on each page so Wound Care Zone can match it cleanly. Direct the cover sheet to referral intake, the authorization coordinator, or records at Wound Care Zone, with a callback number for questions. Group the pages into a single fax and hold onto the confirmation in case you need to prove it arrived.

How Wound Care Zone faxes a dressing-change order

Because dressing changes continue at home, Wound Care Zone faxes the wound-care order and any updates to the home-health agency so the visiting nurse follows the right protocol. Send the wound-care order and the current assessment together so the agency has the full picture. Flag a change in the regimen so the visiting nurse updates it promptly.

Faxing an offloading or negative-pressure order from Wound Care Zone

Offloading and support-surface orders are a routine outbound fax at Wound Care Zone: a total-contact cast, an offloading boot, a specialty mattress, or a negative-pressure device is ordered and the prescription is faxed to the DME supplier. Name the patient and the ordering provider on the cover sheet so the supplier can process it. Put the patient's identifiers on every page so the order is matched.

Sending referral and wound records to Wound Care Zone without cutting corners

Faxing wound-care records to Wound Care Zone is allowed, but the service you use has to protect them. Encryption in transit and a compliant provider are what keep the transmission within the rules. Send FAX Mail includes HIPAA and encryption starting at $39.99/month, so wound records headed to Wound Care Zone travel over a compliant channel instead of a shared machine.

Faxing to Wound Care Zone — FAQ

Put the patient's full name, date of birth, and the referring provider on every page. On the cover sheet, name the health-information staff or the receiving staff so it lands with the right person. Send it as one combined PDF so the pages and photos stay in order. Clear labeling is what keeps a multi-page document together at Wound Care Zone.

Faxes reach Wound Care Zone whenever you send them, and the clinic hours help, though authorization and records work follows a business-day schedule. Because Wound Care Zone runs a scheduled clinic, someone is usually at the desk to receive a fax. Send anything routine early in the day so it does not wait over a closed office. A quick call ahead helps staff watch for a time-sensitive page.

Faxing wound records to Wound Care Zone is fine under HIPAA as long as the service is compliant. Faxing itself is accepted for PHI; the transport is what has to be secure. Send FAX Mail covers HIPAA on the Professional ($39.99/month) and Business ($79.99/month) plans for documents going to Wound Care Zone. A secure send protects both you and the patient whose record it is.

The right number depends on which staff should receive the document. A larger center may take some documents through a records office, so confirm Wound Care Zone still accepts fax for your request. Keep the working number with the patient's chart for next time. That confirmation is the difference between a delivered referral and a lost one.
