      The ACP guideline recommendations for pressure injury prevention are outdated and conflict with the NPIAP Clinical Practice Guidelines listed below.

      The ACP guideline recommendations for pressure injury prevention are outdated and conflict with the NPIAP Clinical Practice Guidelines listed below. This information could cause facilities to rent other specialty beds unnecessarily, or in a legal case, the use of an alternating pressure surface could reflect against a facility

      I have reached out to the ACP to inform them.  I provided them with supporting evidence on the current use of alternating pressure support surfaces for the prevention of pressure injuries. A physician I work with at NPIAP has also reached out to the ACP in an effort to locate the person who can update the text.  I cannot legally change their text; this change must come from ACP.  Who was the ACP contact that provided CMS with this data?
