Wound therapy for prisons and correctional facilities is one of the many services we provide at Aeris Consulting. Our team provides staffing and equipment to prisons throughout the country, and we assist them in reducing risks to inmates and employees, and saving on costs. With Aeris on your team, you’ll be able to cut costs and provide needed health care, while staying within your financial constraints.

Why Proper Wound Care Is Important

Wound therapy in correctional facilities is often not done properly – inmates often are victims of assaults and self-inflicted wounds, and the risk of infection in a prison environment is high. Inmates have lower limb ulcerations and self-inflicted wounds at a much higher rate than the general population. With lacerations, burns and stab wounds common in correctional facilities, this increases the risk of infection as well.

It’s often the case that a wound care specialist should be on staff to provide proper treatments, cleansing of wounds, and instructional healing services. Wound dressings need to be changed frequently, and occasionally antibiotic therapy may be needed.

Wherever there is an opportunity to cut costs, operators of correctional facilities need to examine possibilities. The cost of transporting an inmate to a hospital or an emergency room, and the cost of hospitalization, is a strain on prison budgets that are already tight to begin with. Handling wound care properly on site helps significantly cut costs.

In addition, being able to properly diagnose and treat an inmate’s wounds quickly can save them from more costly therapies and prevent more serious infections. Wound therapy within a facility also reduces risks to employees and liabilities to municipalities.

At Aeris, we work to provide the highest level of patient care. We also perform needed care within a location to reduce expenses whenever possible. Our staff works with each individual facility to provide quality, cost-effective solutions. We recognize that every prison has specific needs, and we can adapt our services accordingly. Our goal is provide quality care in your facility while managing your expenses.

The team at Aeris Consulting & Management proves the positives as to why you should outsource your respiratory therapy department. Aeris is a top healthcare provider that specializes in respiratory and sleep care for healthcare facilities (skilled nursing facilities, subacute rehabilitation facilities) as well as correctional facilities.

With healthcare facilities and correctional facilities, there is often no way to predict demand, and facility owners and operators often need to be able to respond to unexpected growth in number of patients and the need for staffing and equipment. In order to stay profitable, your facility needs to be able to handle needs at all times, and be able to summon temporary staff or new supplies at a moment’s notice.

Flexibility is tremendously important in this industry, and outsourcing your respiratory care allows you to choose a provider that can adapt and change their services to suit your ever-changing needs. With a full time staff on hand, your facility could have trouble meeting demand. Furthermore, you could be overpaying for idle staff when demand is less than great.

At Aeris Consulting & Management, we have a large selection of the tools your facility needs for your patients to receive their respiratory needs. From educational programs, Respiratory Therapist staffing, and technology made available to clients throughout the country, Aeris Consulting & Management covers it all.

At Aeris Consulting & Management, LLC, we provide high quality sleep apnea consulting for prisons and correctional facilities across the nation. Our staff specializes in full service respiratory and sleep care. We provide staffing of respiratory therapists, educational programs for your staff, and the latest in respiratory technology. Aeris is committed to the finest quality care and reducing your health care expenses.

Treating sleep apnea cases is necessary not just to improve inmates’ sleep and breathing, but also to help avoid the onset of other diseases, which would increase an inmate’s health care usage costs. In 95% of suspected obstructive sleep apnea cases, a patient can be diagnosed and treated within the facility. Furthermore, as inmates age, a correctional facility might see an increasing number of them using CPAP machines and oxygen concentrators.

Why Outsource Your Sleep Apnea Consulting?

With so many correctional facilities operating on limited budgets, it’s easy to place medical equipment and staff needs on a lower priority. Sleep apnea problems, especially among older inmates, can become a much more serious concern, and it’s important to make sure that facilities have sufficient equipment and staffing, and that they can adjust to increasing or decreasing needs without full time staff.

Aeris offers an in-house solution that can save your facility thousands over transporting an inmate to another facility. Our testing program can reduce your risks and liability, as well as the turnaround time from diagnosis to treatment. We work within your budget to provide for your facilities’ needs. We also work to ensure that there is sufficient staff to handle health issues without additional costs.

All The Equipment, Training, and Staffing You Need.

Aeris offers a wide range of educational programs, RT staffing and technology to clients throughout the country. As specialists in the provision and management of all components used in the practice of respiratory care, we provide your facility with an “unbranded” respiratory care team designed to meet your facilities goals.

Our goal is to provide our partners with practical and cost-effective solutions while improving quality and outcomes. We want to seamlessly integrate with your facility, creating a strong respiratory care service line.

When you choose Aeris for a sleep apnea consulting study, we provide you with testing devices that are simple to use, with full instructions and 24/7 support. We offer cost effective CPAP, Auto-CPAP, and BiPAP devices, masks, tubing and other additional supplies. We also do it from a central location to save on costs.

We’ll ship you the study equipment, and our board certified sleep physician will interpret the results once you ship the devices back to us. We’ll take care to quickly provide the results of your study to address an inmate’s sleep apnea problems.

We also can send a respiratory or sleep therapist to your facility to help with setting up necessary testing equipment or manage a monthly sleep apnea clinic, saving you the cost and expenses of adding full time staff.

If you regularly follow stories related to nursing facilities and care, you may have seen our own Ed Frost featured in Skilled Nursing News. If not, you can read this informative article here.

Ed Frost Speaks About The Potential of PDPM

The piece is focused on the increased potential for profitable care in the era of the Patient-Driven Payment Model (PDPM). The author of the article, industry expert Alex Spanko, spoke with both Ed Frost of Aeris Consulting and Melissa Sabo of Gravity Healthcare Consulting, regarding PDPM and what it means for skilled nursing facilities.

As detailed in the article, more complex respiratory therapy for sicker patients is becoming a key revenue source for facilities. As Frost points out, “Skilled nursing facilities over the past several years, and this has really amped up in the past five years, are being forced to take sicker and sicker and sicker patients — especially with many areas of the country losing their long-term acute care hospitals.”

Frost added that “There’s very little access to higher levels of care, intermediary levels of care, and they really have been forced to take sicker and sicker folks.” He noted that with PDPM, nursing homes will now receive credit for admitting sicker patients that require higher levels of care.

Frost also emphasized that it’s not necessarily a fee-for-service play…with a timely intervention from a respiratory therapist, a nursing home operator can help to prevent return trips to the hospital for patients. Cardio pulmonary problems are a very common source of hospital readmissions.

The piece took note of the potential for growth in skilled nursing facilities as a result of decreased readmissions. A skilled respiratory therapy facility can save on the high costs of hospital readmissions, which has a positive impact on a facility’s reputation. As Frost pointed out, “Readmission rates start to go down, their marketability starts to improve. Amongst patients and family members, when they’re in the facility, confidence levels increase.”

With the increased potential for earnings for respiratory care through PDPM, skilled nursing facilities should seek a consulting service that can help guide them through the coming changes and stay profitable in the future. Be sure to read the article with Ed Frost featured in Skilled Nursing News to find out more, and how respiratory therapy providers can provide a strong return on investment through PDPM.

In addition to managing successful long term and acute care respiratory care programs, Mr. Frost served on the faculty at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and Independence University in California. He has served as the National Director of Operations for 23 sleep related breathing disorder clinics across the country, and as the Mid-West Director of Sales and Marketing for the 3rd largest independent education company in the United States.
