Pressure injuries and documentation are consistently among the most frequently cited survey deficiencies, and wound care is the subject of continuous research.

Last year, the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP) convened and approved revisions to its Pressure Injury Staging System and, in 2017, CMS updated F-Tag dealing with pressure ulcers (F686:Treatment/Services to Prevent/Heal Pressure Ulcers).

Avoid decreased star ratings and survey deficiencies due to pressure injuries with Pressure Injuries in Long-Term Care: A Toolkit for Clinical Staff.

This resource is full of evidence-based strategies and downloadable assessment tools and in-services to educate your staff about preventing, treating, and assessing pressure injuries.
