Wound care is a complex and dynamic process that requires a knowledgeable team of caring providers, proficient in working together, to successfully move patients through the stages of wound healing. We help you look beyond a patient’s medical history and physical assessment by delivering lab values that give you a wider patient picture. Identifying the baseline level of functioning of a patient’s systems, evaluating a patient’s nutritional status, determining the causative agent, as well as subsequent monitoring and evaluations of treatment, can all be achieved through the array of tests offered at NextGen labs.
At NextGen we know that providers need rapid, reliable laboratory results in order to guide their approach to appropriate care. Our team is dedicated to accuracy and detail always ensuring that critical information is never overlooked. We offer a broad selection of tests which allows clinicians to refer patients to one easy location for precise lab results and access to the full spectrum of tests necessary for successful wound care treatment.
Our NextGen testing report will provide the physician with the MIC (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration) for the specific antibiotic required to treat the microbial infection, thus allowing the provider to prescribe the lowest effective dosage (in μg/mL) that inhibits the growth of the pathogen. This not only reduces the amount of drugs in a patient’s system, but also provides a guide for a dosage that is high enough for efficacy, while still minimizing the risk of the pathogen developing resistance to antibiotics through undertreatment.
The heart of NextGen lies in our commitment to always strive to achieve Better Outcomes. We are ready to work with you to custom tailor a set of tests that meets the needs of your patients. For a full list of the tests we have available visit nextgenlabs.com/tests or get in touch with our team.

We know that each type of long-term care facility can find it has it’s own unique and ever changing array of parameters that affect wound care treatment. Developing the correct plan of care is a complex process, but having a knowledgeable team can help ease this process. From the critical identification of the pathogen causing the infection, to blood abnormalities and inadequate nutritional status, we want to make sure all aspects crucial to successful care are in your hands.

Providers in behavioral health face unique challenges when it comes to wound healing. Studies have shown that patients with high levels of stress face slower healing times with significantly more pain. Our wound care testing services coupled with additional advanced tests can help expedite the medical treatment side of your patient’s condition by reducing time lost waiting for results and maximizing the time you are able to spend addressing the behavioral treatment.
