Admissions are tracked during active enrollment using documented patient/caregiver reports, provider updates, and care coordination records. When available, partner utilization reporting is used to validate trends. The reported change reflects admissions during the measurement window, with focus on edema-driven triggers (infection risk, skin breakdown, uncontrolled swelling).

Outcomes Methods & DataWe monitor skin integrity at every visit and document changes such as new breakdown, worsening drainage, signs of infection risk, and need for escalation to the referring provider. Complication rates are tracked as documented clinical events over time for the enrolled population. This is paired with adherence to compression, skin care routines, and early identification workflows that reduce preventable deterioration.

Outcomes Methods & DataPatient satisfaction is measured through short post-visit and periodic check-in surveys completed by patients and/or caregivers. Responses are compiled across the measurement period and reported as the percent of respondents who selected “Satisfied” or “Very Satisfied.” Feedback is reviewed by our leadership team to improve scheduling, education, and consistency of in-home care.

Outcomes Methods & DataTime to first visit is calculated as the number of calendar days from receipt of a complete referral (required demographics, clinical indication, and payer information) to the first completed in-home evaluation/visit. We track this across all new-start patients during the measurement window and monitor delays separately (referral completeness, authorization timing, patient scheduling barriers).

Outcomes Methods & DataCancellation rate is measured as cancelled or no-show visits divided by total scheduled visits over the same period. We track patient-initiated cancellations separately from clinical holds (e.g., hospitalization) and weather/force majeure. This helps us improve engagement, scheduling reliability, and adherence.

Outcomes Methods & DataWe track the completion of key coordination actions during the episode of care—risk factor screening, education delivered, care barriers identified, and closed-loop communication back to the care team. Coordination performance is measured through documentation completion and the timeliness of clinical updates. The goal is simple: better visibility, faster escalation when needed, and fewer gaps between the home and the medical team.

Outcomes Methods & DataWe track inpatient and observation episodes for enrolled patients and trend changes over time, with attention to edema-driven complications (skin breakdown, infection risk, uncontrolled swelling). Events are captured through available utilization notifications and documented care coordination outreach. When partner utilization reporting is available, we reconcile and validate trends.

Outcomes Methods & DataA certified lymphatic specialist meets you in your home, completes a comprehensive assessment, and identifies the drivers of your swelling, skin risk, and mobility limitations—so care starts with the full picture, not just symptoms.
We build a plan tailored to your needs that may include lymphatic techniques, compression support, skin care, therapeutic exercise, and a practical routine you can actually follow between visits.
You’ll receive step-by-step coaching on compression, skin care, early warning signs, and daily habits that support long-term swelling control. Caregivers are included when appropriate so support continues outside of visits.
Between visits, we provide structured follow-up and support to keep you progressing and troubleshoot setbacks early. When something changes, you’re not left guessing—our team helps guide next steps.
We keep your care team informed with clear updates on progress, risks, and barriers observed in the home. This improves coordination, strengthens continuity, and helps prevent avoidable escalations.
Lymphedema is a chronic and progressive condition characterized by the swelling of a body part, most commonly an arm or leg, due to a buildup of protein-rich fluid called lymph. This accumulation occurs when the lymphatic system—a critical part of the immune system that drains fluid and filters toxins—is damaged or blocked. is.
Edema, or chronic swelling, can be a frustrating condition to manage, but thanks to telehealth, you don’t have to face it alone. Telemedicine is transforming how you can monitor and manage your fluid build-up from the comfort of your home, saving you travel time and stress. By leveraging your smartphone or computer, you can partner with your healthcare team to maintain control and spot issues before they escalate.
Cellulitis is a potentially serious bacterial skin infection that presents as redness, swelling, and pain, often in the lower legs. It occurs when bacteria, usually Streptococcus or Staphylococcus, enter the deeper layers of the skin through a break in the skin barrier. While it is treatable with antibiotics, preventing the infection in the first place is the best defense. The three key preventative measures focus on protecting the skin, practicing meticulous wound care, and managing underlying health conditions that increase risk.
