At Healix, we’re committed to providing innovative wound care solutions tailored to meet the unique needs of our clients in all care settings. Utilizing cutting-edge sub-epidermal moisture (SEM) technology, we offer novel pressure injury (PI) assessment and prevention strategies that set a new standard in wound care management with our proprietary Double Healix program. Through a combination of remote monitoring and clinical stewardship, we offer a turnkey solution to reduce pressure injuries, enhance compliance, lower costs, and minimize citations and litigation. 

A COMPREHENSIVE & REMOTE PRESSURE INJURY PREVENTION SOLUTION: Our proprietary program utilizes SEM scanning for objective identification of patients at risk of developing PIs, aligning with the National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel’s (NPIAP) Standardized Pressure Injury Prevention Protocol 2.0 (SPIPP 2.0). The result of Dr. Rutherford’s Doctoral work for early and accurate pressure injury prevention, our Double Healix program remotely accesses nurses’ SEM results and PI risk assessment documentation from the electronic medical record (EMR) into our cloud-based portal, where it is then analyzed and categorized by level of risk. Patients determined to be at-risk of PI development are then communicated with facility nurses for the implementation of a clinical decision tree built directly into the EMR via bundled order sets. Our customized clinical decision tree serves as a practical guide for facility nurses and administration and aides in the delivery of consistent, evidence-based pressure reduction interventions and subsequent assessments. This remote, tiered approach eliminates the need for on-site visits, streamlining the nursing assessment process while ensuring accurate and timely documentation and interventions for at-risk patients.  

A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH WITH ON-SITE WOUND CARE PROVIDERS: Recognizing the importance of collaboration, we also work as consultants with other wound care provider groups servicing long-term care facilities weekly. By sharing information and insights, we ensure continuity of care and adherence to best practice guidelines to optimize outcomes for patients, providers, and facilities.  

BUNDLED ORDER SETS FOR EVIDENCE-BASED PRESSURE REDUCTION STRATEGIES: Fully integrated into Point Click Care (PCC), our bundled order sets provide tiered levels of evidence-based pressure reduction interventions built directly into any EMR. These sets include a comprehensive selection of facility-friendly interventions aimed at preventing PIs, such as specialty mattresses, repositioning schedules, and preventative dressings that adhere to quality metric standard for the Centers of Medicare & Medicaid (CMS). By streamlining nursing assessments and order entry, our bundled order sets empower facility staff to deliver high-quality care with confidence. 

OFFERING A COMPREHENSIVE & COST-EFFECTIVE WOUND CARE FORMULARY: To further enhance our approach, we provide in-house wound care formulary products hand-selected by Dr. Rutherford and designed to deliver evidence-based, consistent, and cost-effective wound care products via our distribution partner. These cost-effective products are conveniently ordered via an online portal and monitored remotely by our clinical staff, ensuring the appropriate selection of products with education and providing consistency to nursing staff.
