MolecuLight and DocNow: Transforming Wound Care with Innovative Integration

In a groundbreaking collaboration that promises to enhance clinical workflows in wound care, MolecuLight Inc.—a pioneer in fluorescence imaging technology—and DocNow, an advanced electronic health record (EHR) platform for post-acute care, have announced their integration. This innovative partnership aims to streamline the data transfer process and improve the accessibility of vital clinical information directly at the point of care.

MolecuLight is known for its cutting-edge device, MolecuLightDX™, which detects infection-causing bacteria in wounds using real-time fluorescence imaging. With this new integration, data and images collected from the MolecuLightDX device will seamlessly feed into the DocNow platform, facilitating smoother documentation and follow-up in post-acute settings such as skilled nursing facilities and home health care.

Benefits of the Integration

The integration presents several key advantages for healthcare providers:

• - Direct and Automatic Uploads: Utilizing Wi-Fi capabilities, images captured by MolecuLightDX will be automatically uploaded to the patient’s record in DocNow, ensuring accurate and timely documentation.
• - Comprehensive Wound Measurements: The integration supports automatic recording of extensive wound metrics, such as tunneling and undermining, which are crucial for assessing the progression of wound healing.
• - Offline Usability: Providers working in the field can document their findings without interruption, thanks to DocNow's offline capabilities.
• - Patient Census Workflow Integration: The integration fully supports the patient census workflow within the DocNow system, improving overall efficiency.
• - Connectivity with Other Systems: By facilitating seamless connectivity with PointClickCare and MatrixCare, the integration enhances documentation accuracy across various post-operative care environments.

A Vision for Better Patient Outcomes

Anil Amlani, CEO of MolecuLight Inc., remarked, “The integration with DocNow signifies a significant leap in our commitment to provide immediate, actionable insights to physicians right at the point of care. The MolecuLightDX device is rigorously validated and FDA-approved, offering critical information regarding bacterial presence and enabling precise digital measurements of wounds. By seamlessly connecting with DocNow, and extending our reach to mobile and post-acute environments through its PointClickCare and MatrixCare integrations, we are collectively enhancing efficiency and driving better patient outcomes.”

Similarly, Dr. Lauren Neuman, Clinical Director at DocNow, highlighted the importance of this collaboration, saying, “At DocNow, our mission is to empower providers with smart, integrated tools that improve patient care and streamline clinical workflows. Our partnership with MolecuLight is a significant step toward that vision. By integrating advanced fluorescence imaging technology directly into our EHR platform, we are enabling providers to visualize bacterial presence in real-time, making informed decisions regarding wound care. This collaboration enhances documentation accuracy, supports better outcomes, and reaffirms our commitment to delivering best-in-class solutions for post-acute care providers.”
