 The 2012 EAL Wound Care expert workgroup developed questions for systematic  reviews to build upon the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel and European  Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP-EPUAP) Prevention and treatment of  pressure ulcers: clinical practice guideline (2009).

 In 2014, NPUAP-EPUAP updated teh 2009 pressure ulcer clinical practice  guideline. The methodology used by this organization was approved by the  Academy's Evidence-based Practice Committee. The NPUAP-EPUAP guideline  has also been accepted by, and published on, the National Guideline  Clearninghouse (NGC) which requires alignment with the National Academies of  Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (previously know as IOM).

 To learn more about the NPUAP-EPUAP and its guideline, visit NPUAP-EPUAP.
