VA PUR-Pressure Ulcer Resource

Pressure ulcer resource management becomes accessible and actionable with VA PUR-Pressure Ulcer Resource, designed specifically for Veterans and their family caregivers to monitor wound care and prevent complications at home.

Learn everything you need to know about pressure ulcer prevention and treatment through clear, evidence-based content. The app's Learn function features graphics and videos organized as FAQs covering wound care basics, the role of nutrition and exercise in healing, and practical prevention strategies. Whether you're managing an existing pressure ulcer or taking steps to prevent one, you'll find straightforward guidance that empowers informed decisions about your health.

Track your pressure ulcer progress with the Journal Entry function, which lets you record critical wound details over time: size, shape, color, drainage characteristics, and pain levels. This personal health record is especially valuable for Veterans in rural or home-based settings who don't have daily access to wound-care specialists. By documenting changes systematically, you create a clear picture of healing progress to share with your medical team.

Stay organized and engaged in your care through built-in question trackers that help you prepare for appointments and discuss concerns with your healthcare providers. Convenient reminders keep you on track with position changes, nutrition, and medications—all essential to preventing complications and promoting recovery.

The app also includes automated help dialing and resource locators, connecting you quickly to the support you need. VA PUR-Pressure Ulcer Resource transforms wound management from a challenge into a manageable, trackable process you control from home.
