Pressure injury prevention has traditionally relied on consistent turning and repositioning of patients—an essential yet challenging practice in fast-paced clinical settings. This program introduces innovative technology designed to streamline these interventions, improving efficiency and sustainability. Supported by clinical evidence, the presentation showcases improved patient outcomes from a recent quality improvement initiative. Nursing leadership plays a critical role in driving successful implementation by championing evidence-based practices and fostering team collaboration. Their active engagement ensures a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and enhanced patient safety.

This webinar is brought to you by 

1. Describes how a patient sensor system aids in the decrease Hospital Acquired Pressure Injuries (HAPIs)
2. Verbalizes the functionality of the patient sensor system
3. Explains utilization of the patient sensor system for early mobility of patients
4. Lists the upcoming changes to the National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel International Guideline recommendations

Pressure injuries take a huge toll in pain and suffering and financial costs to the patients and healthcare systems.  A pressure injury should ideally be closed/healed but palliation is sometimes the only possible pathway.  In all cases, state of the art methods should be applied to treat or palliate the wound/patient. The speakers will present the challenges in treatment, and the methodologies, some rather new, that has become available for the treatment of pressure injuries, particularly in the area of wound bed preparation and supportive debridement of necrotic tissue and slough.

This webinar is brought to you by the Urgo Foundation

1. Understand the magnitude of challenge in the treatment of pressure injuries, the core reason why near 100000 lives are lost for the proximate cause being a pressure injury.
2. Discuss what the traditional methodologies have been to treat pressure injuries, that still occur inspite of much preventative efforts.
3. Discuss what are the core treatment problems that impede optimal treatment in various settings.
4. Discuss newer technologies that can be used to improve patient lives, particularly in the area of wound bed preparation, improvements to the reconstructive ladder, and debridement of slough and necrotic tissue. 

Join us in celebrating WWPIPD with Dr. Lisa Grubb. Gain Valuable insights as Dr. Grubb shares her expertise to help guide you toward excellence in pressure injury prevention for improved patient outcomes. She will share her knowledge of the guidelines and personal work experiences, that can be replicated and implemented across the continuum of care.

Welcome to NPIAP's Quintet Quiz Series, the National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel's interactive quiz series designed to challenge your knowledge and enhance your expertise in pressure injury prevention and care. Each month, expert-driven questions will test your understanding of the latest practices, guidelines, and innovations in the field. While this is not a CE-accredited activity, it's a great way to assess your competence, stay current, and engage in friendly competition with your peers. Plus, this series offers an opportunity to grow your knowledge and help shape the future of pressure injury management

NPIAP is the owner and creator of the current pressure injury staging system. The staging system was created in consensus with national experts, therefore, the answers to the staging quizzes are accurate as written.

This episode explores the critical gaps in pressure injury documentation and education within healthcare settings. Host Dr. Joyce Black and guest Dr. Lee Ruotsi dive into the challenges physicians face, including limited training, time constraints, and misconceptions about skin care responsibilities. They emphasize the importance of accurate skin assessments, especially with new electronic clinical quality measures relying on chart data. The conversation highlights the lack of wound care education in medical school curricula and the need for systemic change to better prepare future providers. Listeners will hear about successful educational initiatives and the importance of top-down support from healthcare leadership. This episode offers practical insights and a call to action for improving pressure injury care across all levels of healthcare.

This webinar will be recorded live on October 22nd, 2025 at 12:00PM CT. A recording of the webinar will be available within 24 hours of the live event. 

Elevated temperature and humidity at the skin–support surface interface are widely recognized as contributing factors to pressure injury risk. In response, advanced support surfaces have introduced features designed to address these “microclimate” factors, most commonly by circulating air near the skin surface. This feature is often referred to as Low Air Loss (LAL), but a more accurate term is Microclimate Management with Airflow (MMA).

Despite widespread adoption of MMA technology, clinical evidence supporting its effectiveness has been lacking. This webinar will present findings from a randomized controlled trial designed to answer a critical question: Does microclimate management with airflow reduce pressure injury incidence or severity in patients at risk?

Join us to move beyond assumptions and explore what the evidence really says about microclimate management, support surfaces, and pressure injury prevention.

1. Explain how temperature and moisture at the skin–support surface interface influence pressure injury risk.

2. Identify the design features of support surfaces that target microclimate management.

3. Evaluate the clinical trial evidence on the effectiveness of microclimate management with airflow (MMA).

4. Apply evidence-based insights to guide support surface selection for patients with moisture-related risk factors.
