AHRQ: Safety programme for nursing homes: On-time pressure ulcer healing (updated July 2018)

Summary

Pressure ulcers remain a serious problem in nursing homes despite regulatory and market approaches to encourage prevention and treatment. The US-based Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality created On-time pressure ulcer healing to help nursing homes with electronic medical records address pressure ulcers that are slow to heal.

Content

This toolkit was developed to provide nursing homes that have an electronic medical records system with tools to effectively monitor and manage pressure ulcers. Clinical reports provide information about the number and types of pressure ulcers that residents have developed.
