The NPUAP Meeting – This was No Consensus Conference

The National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP) held a Consensus Conference on Pressure Ulcer Staging April 8 –9, 2016 in Chicago, Illinois. This was conducted by a moderator and six NPUAP members who were designated as the staging task force. This consisted of 4 nurses, 2 of which were nurse practitioners, one dietician and an individual with a Ph.D. in mechanical and aerospace engineering. Their purpose was “to revise the staging definitions to further clarify and refine the system and develop new nomenclature relevant to pressure related soft tissue injury” (Consensus Conference on Pressure Ulcer Staging, 2016).
