Journal of Wound Care: Development, dissemination, and evaluation of a smartphone-based app for pressure ulcer/injury prevention and treatment for use at the bedside

Overview: The launch of the 2019 International Pressure Ulcer/Injury Guideline by the National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel (NPIAP), the European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (EPUAP), and the Pan Pacific Pressure Injury Alliance (PPPIA) was an international success. It also brought about a realization that there needed to be a way to bring the guidelines to the bedside.
