Are you prepared to implement a "zero tolerance" policy when it comes to facility-acquired pressure ulcers?
Although pressure ulcers can lead to serious injury and sometimes death, not enough emphasis is placed on preventing them. Hospitals must develop a road map for preventing facility-acquired pressure ulcers and implementing effective prevention programs.
Create a culture of awareness and improve patient care.
If you feel that your pressure ulcer prevention isn’t everything is should be then you need to attend this 90- minute audioconference Wednesday, June 4 at 1:00 p.m. This program will feature evidence-based practice strategies for prevention and treatment, as well as ways to get management buy-in and support to obtain the appropriate pressure ulcer prevention resources.
