Prevention, as well as effective early treatment and intervention, provides an opportunity for both reducing financial costs and improving the quality of life for the patients involved. The Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR), therefore, has developed clinical practice guidelines concerning the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers. The Guidelines target four overall goals: Identify at-risk individuals who need prevention and the specific factors that place them at risk; maintain and improve tissue tolerance to pressure in order to prevent injury; protect against the adverse effects of external mechanical forces (pressure, friction, shear); and reduce the incidence of pressure ulcers through educational programs.
预防以及有效的早期治疗和干预，为降低经济成本和提高相关患者的生活质量提供了契机。因此，医疗保健政策与研究机构（AHCPR）制定了有关压疮预防和治疗的临床实践指南。这些指南有四个总体目标：识别需要预防的高危个体以及导致他们处于危险的具体因素；维持并改善组织对压力的耐受性以防止损伤；抵御外部机械力（压力、摩擦、剪切力）的不良影响；通过教育项目降低压疮的发生率。
