Advantage Surgical and Wound Care heals wounds and treats surgical conditions in the post-acute environment through conservative, evidence-based care. We limit unnecessary and expensive treatments, emergency room visits, and hospitalizations. We achieve optimal outcomes by coordination, collaboration, and education with patients, their caregivers, and other healthcare professionals. Transcriptionist Overview Our skilled medical providers perform rounds in Skilled Nursing Facilities and Home Health Care settings providing wound care at either their bedside or in-home facility. While seeing patients, either the Provider or their Wound Care Assistant produces handwritten rounding form. The handwritten rounding forms are received by the Transcriptionist to enter in the electronic health records system (EMR) for final approval of the Provider.
