The audit of completion of the risk screening tool since organizational
wide implementation has shown excellent uptake of this
clinical assessment and demonstrated sustainability of this component
of the Pressure Risk Management Plan over time. Learning
from the pilot study and subsequent refinements to the plan have
led to this organization prioritizing pressure risk assessment and
the management of pressure risk among clients of all risk levels.
To ensure practice recommendations remain evidence based, a
review of the Pressure Risk Management Plan will be undertaken
when the revised AWMA guidelines are released later in 2012.
