Approximately 20% of all patients admitted to long-term care facilities arrive with pressure sores. An additional 12% develop new sores over each subsequent six-month period. Management of pressure sores has traditionally been a time-consuming, inefficient, and costly exercise. We describe the efforts to standardize and improve the care of patients with pressure sores at a 360-bed chronic care and nursing facility in Maryland. The efforts began with a pressure ulcer team, and continued with the establishment of a wound protocol and, ultimately, a wound unit.
入住长期护理机构的所有患者中，约20%入院时就有压疮。在随后的每六个月期间，另有12%会出现新的压疮。传统上，压疮的管理一直是一项耗时、低效且成本高昂的工作。我们描述了在马里兰州一家拥有360张床位的慢性病护理和护理机构中，为规范和改善压疮患者护理所做的努力。这些努力始于一个压疮护理团队，接着制定了伤口护理方案，最终设立了伤口护理单元。
