NCT01166828 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2015-06-26

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

NRI research focuses on nursing interventions that are patient-centered, culturally congruent, cost-effective and outcome-driven. High priority populations of interest are veterans with Spinal Cord Injuries (SCI). The development of innovative tele home techniques for preventing pressure ulcers in veterans with SCI is of high importance in the VA. Our findings may provide clinicians with improved methods for skin and wound assessment and more effective and efficient PUP strategies for Hispanic and non Hispanic veterans. The new model for primary care, the patient-centered Medical Home provides an exciting change in the VA that can benefit from the proposed project.
