| PITTSBURGH, Pa., March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Users of Net Health’s EHR software solution, Net Health® Wound Care (formerly WoundExpert®), can now place in-chart orders for Smith+Nephew’s (NYSE:SNN) RENASYS GO Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) solution under a new agreement between the two companies.

Net Health is a leading provider of cloud-based software that serves specialty medical providers across the continuum of care, including wound care practitioners.

Smith+Nephew’s widely used RENASYS GO system will be available to wound care clinics through Net Health’s Net Health Wound Care Connections portal, a proprietary ordering system for clients.

The addition of RENASYS GO System gives Net Health’s clients access to one of the industry’s most advanced at-home wound management solutions. The clinical value of NPWT has caused the market to double over the past few years1, with current market size at more than $738 million.2 Recent growth is being driven by improvements in reimbursement as well as an aging population and resultant increases in chronic and diabetic-related wounds.3 Increasing demand makes it more important than ever for providers to have easy and quick access to ordering NPWT products for their patients with homecare needs. “At Smith+Nephew, we strive to make technology that takes the limits off living,” said Ryan Frank, VP of US Wound Marketing, of Smith+Nephew. “We apply that same mindset to the technologies used by clinicians. The agreement with Net Health is a perfect fit for us because it removes the limits and burdens of traditional paper ordering for NPWT, enabling clinicians to devote more time to patient care.” Net Health Wound Care’s in-chart ordering functionality benefits clinicians, as well as their patients.
