DR. NOVIKOV WELLNESS AND SKIN CARE

Nursing Homes and Rehab Wound Care Program

Wounds healed in half the time — at no cost to your facility. Since 2015, our physician-led team has provided weekly bedside wound care in Massachusetts nursing and rehab facilities, working alongside your wound care nurse — so residents heal faster, documentation stands up to survey, and your staff gets time back.

Results your building can measure

  • Average healing time of 21 days versus a typical 66 — a 68% reduction, which means a fraction of the dressing spend and daily nursing time per wound
  • Pressure ulcer healing 20% faster than advanced wound care centers; overall healing rates 10% above the national average
  • Facilities we serve can save over $197,000 and earn up to $485,000 annually by healing wounds faster — while improving patient satisfaction and reducing staff turnover
  • 30% of partner facilities have achieved deficiency-free surveys; wound-related tags in our buildings are rare

How the program works

  • Weekly rounds at the bedside, alongside your wound care nurse — no transports, no ambulance costs, no missed therapy hours
  • Coverage is arranged so buildings are not skipped — through vacations and holidays
  • Assessment, debridement, biopsies and minor procedures performed on-site
  • Clear, survey-ready documentation and treatment plans your team can carry out between visits
  • Our providers are available to meet with state surveyors and answer patient-specific questions
  • Billed to Medicare Part B and most insurance — no cost to the facility

Education that upskills your team

Our popular free one-hour in-service, Modern Wound Management, comes to you — on-site at your facility or via Zoom. It is also the easiest way to meet our team before you commit to anything. For deeper training, our three-hour Wound Care Course prepares your nurses to manage wounds confidently between rounds. Call ext. 5 to schedule a date.
