  • Title: Reduce the pain and high costs associated with pressure ulcers.
    Journal: Healthc Demand Dis Manag; 1998 Feb; 4(2):21-4. PubMed ID: 10178014.
    Abstract:
    For patients who suffer immobility or cognitive problems, institutionalization can bring on a whole new set of problems in the form of pressure ulcers. Pressure ulcers can be prevented using strict risk assessment measures, but many hospitals and skilled nursing facilities fail to use these strategies, resulting in extended lengths of stay. Find out how one provider collaborative attacked the problem, plus use their pressure ulcer prevention tool in your own facility.
