Need help improving your pressure injury prevention practices?
Guidelines on best practices for pressure injury prevention have long been available and have been updated by NPUAP in 2014. Yet implementing these best practices in the hospital environment can often be difficult. A new toolkit that can guide you through the step-by-step process of a quality improvement initiative has just been released by AHRQ.
The toolkit, Preventing Pressure Ulcers in Hospitals, has been developed by past NPUAP members under the auspices of AHRQ and is available here.
