The prevention of hospital-acquired pressure ulcers<br />
is a constant priority at <strong>JCMC</strong>. The skin care team<br />
and wound care nurses are available to assist bedside<br />
nurses with treatments, education and appropriate<br />
selection of wound care dressings and specialty<br />
beds. Quarterly pressure ulcer prevalence surveys are<br />
Pressure Ulcers<br />
conducted by a group of nurses educated in pressure<br />
ulcer assessment with validation from the wound<br />
care experts. Tracking of in-house specialty beds has<br />
been enhanced over the past year to determine the<br />
right bed for the right patient at the right time for<br />
prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers.<br />
