Abstract
- Prior to a JCAHO accreditation visit, Southeast Georgia Regional Medical Center implemented a program for improved prevention and treatment of nosocomial pressure ulcers. Forms were developed for monitoring skin integrity and therapy beds were tried from a vendor, which also provided a computerized assessment tool. Results included 15 percent pressure ulcer prevention in addition to enhanced collaborative nursing practice.
