Many hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) are preventable, yet they continue to occur across healthcare systems.

What does it take to reach Zero Avoidable Stage 3–4 HAPIs?

One health system implemented a structured competency-based prevention program and achieved:

✔ 300+ nurses trained
✔ ~100% staff participation
✔ 25% improvement in knowledge scores
✔ Zero Avoidable Stage 3–4 HAPIs in the first year

Education, standardization, and the right tools can transform prevention into everyday clinical practice.

Delivering high-quality wound care starts with understanding and applying the standard of care.

In wound management, standard of care goes beyond individual treatments, it involves a comprehensive approach that addresses the underlying causes of wounds while ensuring proper documentation and clinical decision-making.

This WoundReference topic explains the key elements clinicians should consider, including:

✔ Blood flow and vascular assessment
✔ Infection control and debridement
✔ Offloading and pressure management
✔ Nutrition optimization
✔ Targeted interventions and local wound care
✔ Management of comorbidities affecting healing

The topic also introduces the BIONIC framework, a practical way for clinicians to remember the core components of evidence-based wound care.

Understanding and documenting these elements is essential not only for better patient outcomes, but also for meeting regulatory expectations and reducing medico-legal risk.

• Key definitions and background
• Common reasons wounds fail to heal
• Examples of chronic and hard-to-heal wounds

Evidence-based wound care is not simply about following the latest study or clinical guideline.

Strong clinical decisions require balancing three essential elements: the best available research evidence, clinical expertise, and each patient’s individual needs, goals, and preferences.
The updated WoundReference topic, “An Introduction to Evidence-Based Practice in Wound Care,” helps clinicians better understand how evidence is evaluated and translated into everyday practice.

Explore:
• The hierarchy and different levels of clinical evidence
• How the GRADE approach evaluates evidence and recommendations
• The role and limitations of clinical practice guidelines
• When consensus statements may support decision-making
• How clinical pathways, quality improvement, outcome

measurement, and feedback loops help turn evidence into practice
