“…But the larger question is: Where do we go from here in terms of further improving PI prevention? Publication of guidelines and toolkits, 4 alignment of financial incentives with improved outcomes, and the performance of large-scale quality improvement interventions based on the Institute for Healthcare Improvement Breakthrough Series 5 likely contributed to some of the initial successes. But based on VanGilder et al, these improvements have now stalled at a rate that is still unacceptably high.…”

This is an evolving science; increased temperature may relate to deep/surrounding infection or inflammation and local ischemia may lead to a decreased temperature.…”
