Healthy People 2030 has highlighted the importance of wound care for older adults by creating an objective that focuses on the rate of pressure ulcer-related hospital admissions among older adults. The target is to reduce the number of pressure ulcer-related hospitalizations to 753.2 per 100,000 adults.
One way physicians can help reach this 2030 objective is to promote the importance of nutrition in wound healing. Learn more about nutrition and wound healing and check out Abbott Nutrition Health Institutes’ (ANHI) podcast and webinar on this topic.
