Why NIVA Health?

• Comprehensive Home-Based Wound Care: Our clinical teams treat diabetic foot ulcers, venous stasis ulcers, pressure injuries, surgical dehiscence, and other complex wounds in the comfort of patients' homes — a critical service for non-ambulatory and homebound patients.
• Telemedicine-Enabled Oversight: Physicians review wound images and clinical data remotely and consult by video, allowing specialized wound expertise to reach patients regardless of location and without delay.
• Insurance-Based Services: Our services are insurance-covered, ensuring specialized wound care is accessible to a broad patient base without compromising quality.
• Advanced Modalities: We use regenerative and advanced wound care therapies, including cellular and tissue-based products, tailored to the individual needs of each patient.
• Whole-Patient Approach: We integrate functional medicine principles to address the nutritional deficiencies, glycemic control issues, and chronic conditions that drive delayed healing — treating the patient, not just the wound bed.
• Empowerment through Education: We educate patients and caregivers on dressing care, offloading, and lifestyle modifications that support durable healing and prevent recurrence.

Responsibilities

• Conduct telemedicine consultations and initial wound assessments, establishing the diagnosis, wound etiology, and plan of care.
• Review wound photographs, measurements, and serial documentation to track healing trajectory and adjust treatment.
• Direct dressing selection, offloading and compression strategies, debridement plans, and infection management, including antibiotic stewardship.
• Determine candidacy for advanced modalities and cellular/tissue-based products, and document medical necessity in accordance with payer coverage criteria.
• Provide supervision and clinical oversight to Nurse Practitioners performing in-home wound visits, ensuring quality and consistency of care.
• Identify wounds requiring escalation — vascular evaluation, surgical consultation, or higher level of care — and coordinate appropriate referral.
• Ensure timely and accurate completion of medical records and maintain clinical governance standards.
• Foster a compassionate, patient-centered atmosphere.
