Description

The TEAM-UP study findings suggest that current 2-hour protocols can be relaxed for many nursing home residents without compromising pressure injury prevention. A causal link was not established between repositioning interval treatments and pressure injury outcome; however, no new pressure injuries developed. Compliance improved as repositioning interval lengthened.


Specialty
