2012
The Australian Wound Management Association (AWMA), together with international partners in New Zealand, Hong Kong and Singapore, recently presented the Pan Pacific Clinical Practice Guideline for the Prevention and Management of Pressure Injury (Guideline) for public consultation. The Guideline, including a companion algorithm, was made available for external review via the AWMA website. The Guideline was developed using a rigorous methodology that focused on reviewing high-level evidence from existing clinical guidelines and systematic reviews. The following paper outlines the development process and discusses key changes to pressure injury (PI) terminology and staging recommended in the Guideline.
