Third Edition POCKET GUIDE to PRESSURE ULCERS by Jeffrey M. Levine,Elizabeth A. Ayello Pdf

Pressure ulcers are now a universally recognized quality indicator and demand renewed attention by all clinicians. Initiatives by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) place emphasis on timely and accurate wound documentation. These policies include reimbursement guidelines for hospitals and revised surveyor guidelines for nursing homes, as well as other care settings. The interdisciplinary nature of wound care requires all levels of staff to be aware of pressure ulcer assessment across the health care continuum.& ;This guide was developed as a basic reference tool for clinicians caring for patients who are at risk for or who have pressure ulcers. Illustrations depict typical examples encountered in clinical practice. Although the 2009 National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP), European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (EPUAP) system now uses the term "category" rather than "stage," we have chosen to use "stage" for compliance with CMS terminology. This resource is designed to assist in wound identification and documentation and is not intended as a treatment guide.
