Fewer Admissions

Reducing avoidable hospitalizations related to cellulitis, wounds, and fluid overload

How we calculated this

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).

Fewer Wound Complications

Lower rates of infection, non-healing ulcers, and skin breakdown

How we calculated this

We 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.

Patient satisfaction

Patients report better control, improved mobility, and higher confidence in self-care

How we calculated this

Patient 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.

Days — Average Time to First Visit

5 days from referral to first in-home visit (measured across all new patients in 2025).

How we calculated this

Time 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).

Cancellation Rate

High patient compliance and engagement

How we calculated this

Cancellation 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.

Improved Care Coordination

Addressing social barriers, caregiver education, and medical compliance

How we calculated this

We 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.

Inpatient & Observation Rates

Fewer unnecessary escalations of care

How we calculated this

We 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.

How our care Works

Meet Your Specialist

A 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.

Personalized Care Plan

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.

Patient and Caregiver Education & Self-Care

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.

Telehealth and In-Person Monitoring

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.

Shared Reporting

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.

How our careWorks

Because edema is complex and can be driven by different underlying conditions, EdemaCare categorizes swelling into 8 distinct groups. This helps us match each patient to the right care pathway, compression approach, and long-term management plan, based on how their swelling presents in real life.

Diagnosis TermLymphatic (Classic) Lymphedema

One arm or leg stays larger even after rest. Heaviness/tightness is common, and skin may thicken over time. Many patients have repeated flare-ups or cellulitis risk. Our pathway focuses on CDT-based care, reliable compression routines, skin care, and movement to reduce swelling and prevent progression.

Diagnosis Term Post-Oncology Lymphedema

Swelling after cancer surgery or radiation (arm, leg, breast/chest, trunk). Often paired with tightness, heaviness, scar stiffness, and reduced range of motion. We deliver in-home swelling control, compression mastery, mobility support, and long-term self-management so progress holds between visits.

Diagnosis TermVenous Edema (CVI / Stasis)

Swelling builds through the day, usually ankles/lower legs and improves with elevation. Patients often report aching/heaviness, varicose veins, or early skin discoloration/itching. We teach consistent compression habits, calf-pump exercise, elevation routines, and long-term maintenance.

Diagnosis TermPhlebolymphedema (Venous + Lymphatic)

Long-standing venous swelling begins to overload the lymphatic system. Legs may become fibrotic, change shape, and “rebound” quickly when compression isn’t perfect. Stockings alone often fail. We use structured reduction + higher-reliability compression systems to stabilize limb shape and reduce skin breakdown risk.

Diagnosis TermCardio-Metabolic Edema (CHF/CKD/Diabetes)

Often affects both legs with swelling tied to systemic fluid drivers. Skin can look shiny/tight, shoes stop fitting, and swelling recurs quickly with inactivity. Our approach is conservative and monitored, gentle compression when appropriate, daily skin checks, education, and coordination with the medical team.

Diagnosis TermNeurogenic / Dependency Edema

Common after stroke, spinal injury, or reduced mobility. Fluid pools in dependent limbs and increases pressure under braces/orthotics, especially when sensation is impaired. We focus on safe compression, positioning, caregiver training, and routine skin checks to reduce breakdown risk.

Diagnosis TermPost-Surgical / Traumatic Edema

After orthopedic surgery, burns, or major injury, swelling can linger and stall rehab, stiffness increases, scars tighten, and the limb may not “shape down.” We support safe compression, mobility progression, and home routines that restore function and reduce setbacks.

Diagnosis TermLipedema (± Lipo-Lymphedema)

Often presents as symmetrical leg enlargement with tenderness, easy bruising, and a “cuff” at the ankles (feet relatively spared). Over time, swelling may become mixed with lymphatic overload. We use pain-aware compression strategies, movement pacing, and long-term self-care routines to improve comfort and function.

The Cornerstones of Lymphedema Care

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.

Telehealth Tips for Managing Edema.

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.

3 Ways to Prevent Cellulitis

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.
