The National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel (NPIAP)

The National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel (NPIAP) is an organization focused on preventing and treating pressure injuries, also known as bedsores or pressure ulcers. It brings together experts from various fields, including nursing, medicine, and research, to improve understanding and management of these injuries. The NPIAP develops clinical guidelines, educational resources, and conducts research to promote best practices in care. Its goal is to reduce the incidence of pressure injuries, especially in vulnerable populations like the elderly or those with limited mobility, ultimately improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
