Gold STAMP Program to Reduce Pressure Ulcers (a hospital-nursing facility-home care-physician collaborative for pressure injury prevention, reduction and management)
HCA served on the statewide coordinating committee for the program and was a strong supporter of the program. We are pleased to provide these valuable resources, previously provided by the UAlbany School of Public Health Center for Public Health Continuing Education, to improve the assessment, and prevention of pressure ulcers.
Collaboration and communication are key to reducing pressure ulcers across hospital, nursing home and home care settings. This toolkit is designed to promote regional-level collaboration and communication among health care providers and support the autonomous establishment of additional Gold STAMP Collaboratives throughout New York State.
Goals of Gold STAMP:
- Provide and promote the use of information, education and standardized practices for pressure ulcer assessment, management and prevention across the continuum of care.
- Promote collaboration and communication within and throughout the continuum of care and other key stakeholders related to pressure ulcer assessment, management and prevention.
- Provide strategic direction and support for pressure ulcer performance improvement.
- Promote and expand engagement of hospitals, nursing homes and home care agencies in Gold STAMP principles.
