Today's healthcare environment -- and the economic environment in general -- necessitate efforts to lower healthcare costs, both for patients and for providers. This need is especially relevant to long-term care facilities, where residents' healthcare problems are a daily and expensive certainty. Both pressure ulcers and venous ulcers are common in long-term facilities, and the aging of our citizens means managing these facilities will be an increasingly significant concern for providers.
当今的医疗环境——以及总体的经济环境——要求我们努力降低患者和医疗服务提供者的医疗成本。这一需求对于长期护理机构尤为重要，因为在这些机构中，居民的医疗问题是日常且昂贵的必然情况。压疮和静脉溃疡在长期护理机构中都很常见，而且我们公民的老龄化意味着管理这些机构将成为医疗服务提供者日益关注的重要问题。
