The Zombies Are Back: Is Your Wound Center One of Them?

The Zombies Are Back: a zombie hand rises from a graveyard beside a tombstone marked LCD 2018

Every Halloween, something rises from the grave. This year, we made a short horror trailer about the things that haunt hospital wound centers.

It's played for laughs, but the monsters are real. If any of these sound familiar, your wound center may be showing symptoms.

Four Signs of a Zombie Wound Center

  • Denials keep rising from the grave. The same claims come back again and again, and nobody gets to the root cause.
  • You're still running on old rules. LCDs and CMS requirements change, but your processes don't, and no one calls when the rules shift.
  • Good data is buried alive. The numbers that could show your board what's working are there. Nobody can get to them.
  • The life is draining out. Revenue slips, staff burn out, and momentum fades one quiet month at a time.
