Dear potential Exhibitorand/or Commercial Supporter:Here is a unique opportunity for your

company to further impact the prevention

and treatment of pressure ulcers!

Established in 1987, NPUAP is a multi-disciplinary, nationally andinternationally recognized organization that works in the areas ofeducation, public policy and research to impact the field of pressureulcers. By partnering with NPUAP, your organization can interact with a“think tank” of leaders that influence the future of pressure ulcerprevention and care. In recent years, NPUAP has been instrumental incollaborating with CMS on the MDS 3.0, in establishing consensus onunavoidable pressure ulcers and in research on standardizing the fieldof pressure redistribution surfaces. In 2009, the International PressureUlcer Prevention and Treatment Guidelines were published incollaboration with the European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel.

Our impact is evident on many levels. In education, we haveinitiated a series of webinars with topics such as turning andrepositioning, nutrition and avoidable vs. unavoidable pressure ulcers.These webinars have furthered the educational mission of theorganization by effectively delivering essential material in a conciseand user friendly fashion. Our public policy committee continues towork with CMS on the MDS, a document which continues to be updatedand modified. In addition, we have been invited to participate in AHQRcomparative effectiveness workgroup. The NPUAP also advocated forchanges in the proposed competitive bidding for support surfaces andwheelchair cushions. In research, a database has been created forpressure ulcer literature. In addition, standardization guidelines arebeing developed based on research in the field of support surfaces.

We invite you to consider supporting the Biennial Conference on acorporate level. A wide range of opportunities is available.
