PURPOSE This guide is intended to assist Quality Improvement Organizations and nursing homes in reducing the rate of high risk pressure ulcers by providing helpful resources. This guide is not meant to be an exhaustive list of resources. With the discontinuation of MedQIC, there is not currently a central location for QIO materials to be posted on the internet. The NCC searched for existing resources from the QIO community. Some of those resources are listed here. 3
