Welcome to the Pressure Ulcer Prevention Project (PUPP) web page! The PUPP is a funded initiative to provide evidence-based guidance to hospitals.  The project has been led by Joint Commission Resources and our Nurse Safety Scholar-in-Residence.  Thank you to Irene M. Jankowski of Beth Israel Medical Center, New York, NY, who served as the first Nurse Safety Scholar-in-Residence. Our new Nurse Scholar, Diane Whitworth of Bon Secours St. Mary's Hospital in Richmond, VA, will continue the project through its culmination on September 30, 2010.  The application process for the next scholar closed July 30, 2010.
