We are pleased to share that the National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel was recognized with two of the four Supporting Society Projects at the World Union World Healing Society (WUWHS) Congress last month. In addition, NPIAP Past President and Alum, Dr. Elizabeth Ayello was recognized with a Lifetime Achievement Award.
 The first winning project was:
Necessary Products Required for the Prevention and Treatment of Pressure Injuries: Lessons Learned that Translate Beyond COVID-19 Pandemic Authors: Barbara Delmore, PhD, RN, CWCN, MAPWCA, IIWCC-NYU, FAAN; Michelle Deppisch, PT, CWS, FACCWS; Jill Cox PhD, RN, APN-c, CWOCN, FAAN; David Newton, M.Eng, C.Eng, MIET, MIEEE; Carroll Gillespie, MS, BSN, RN, CWOCN; Jackie Todd, MBA, BS, BSN, RN, CWCN, DAPWCA; Sharon Eve Sonenblum, PhD
The aim of this project was to identify the challenges encountered in obtaining the required support surfaces and products to meet pressure injury prevention and treatment during COVID-19. Several challenges were identified in meeting expectations and ensuring the appropriate equipment and supplies were available. By identifying these challenges, a more proactive, resilient approach can be adopted to face daily issues or the next crisis thus fostering better pressure injury prevention and treatment outcomes.
The second winning project was done in collaboration with our Guideline Methodologist and colleagues at PPPIA and EPUAP.
Title: Smart Phone App Brings the Guideline to the Bedside
Authors: Janet Cuddigan, PhD, Emily Haesler, PhD, Zena Moore, PhD, Keryln Carville, PhD, and Jan Kottner, PhD
NPIAP, EPUAP, and PPPIA, collaborated with an outside technology company, Sensorydata Corp, to develop the InterPIP App. The app utilizes the data from the 2019 International Guideline for the Prevention and Treatment of Pressure Injuries/Ulcers Quick Reference Guide. It is currently available in 11 languages and has been downloaded 3,616 times in 78 countries. In a survey of current users, the app was rated positively on seven key characteristics. The InterPIP App offers a unique opportunity to bring evidence-based guidance to the point-of-care. The app may be downloaded at: https://interpip.app/
