Wound Care for Workers’ Comp Patients

Injured workers treated with a combination of wound care and hyperbaric medicine return to work faster and have fewer long-term complications.

Businesses frequently talk about “synergy” improving efficiency and maximizing outcomes, but does synergy improve efficiency and maximize outcomes in healthcare? Absolutely.

Synergy is defined as “the interaction or cooperation of two or more organizations, substances, or other agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects.” At HyOx, we combine wound care with hyperbaric oxygen therapy to help our patients heal faster and reduce long-term complications like chronic pain, CRPS, and reoccurrence of injury.

HyOx treats workers suffering from third-degree burns, crush injuries, and non-healing wounds. Our integrated approach salvages limbs, reduces the risk of amputation and CRPS, and fights difficult infections.

Watch as our Director of Strategic Outreach Elizabeth Smith explains how our team combines wound care with hyperbaric oxygen therapy to provide the best possible outcomes for injured workers.
