pressure sores
Pressure sores can cause pain, take a long time to heal and put the resident at risk for the development of a number of medical complications such as skin and bone infections. Masspro, in collaboration with Nursing Homes across Massachusetts, is working towards reducing the incidence of pressure sores experienced by nursing home residents through the utilization of a systems approach focusing on screening, assessing, treating and monitoring of residents. The most current evidence based clinical practices will be communicated and shared with the nursing home community through learning sessions, peer-to-peer collaboratives, on-site visits, technical assistance, statistical analysis, telephone consultation, workbooks, and conference calls.
