PITTSBURGH, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Delta Care Rx, one of the nation s leading and most innovative pharmaceutical care companies supporting serious illness, palliative and hospice care providers, has launched a virtual wound care consultation service that brings an expert wound care physician and nurse directly to the bedside to work with hospice and palliative care nurses.
The program is led by a duo of wound care experts: Aletha Tippett, MD, a nationally recognized wound care expert, and Toccara Jule, RN, a certified hospice and palliative nurse with a lengthy background in wound management. With an initiative like this, we re changing the hospice paradigm about wound healing, Tippett said. While our goal is comfort, dignity and pain management, we find that with effective wound management about half of the wounds we see with hospice patients can heal. It s a significant quality of life improvement for these patients.
