The Pennsylvania Restraint Reduction Initiative (PARRI) is pleased to introduce the PA MAP-IT for Healthy Skin project . PA MAP-IT which stands for Manage, Assess, Plan, Intervene and Teach is a pilot project with the goal being: The prevention and treatment of healthcare acquired pressure ulcers across the continuum through the collaboration of acute and post - acute care providers. 

MAP-IT started after a suggestion from the Region III director of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to PARRI and is the result of input from the expert advisors and stakeholders to the project.MAP-IT incorporates three main components:

• MAP-IT for Healthy Skin website, a clearinghouse for information that pertains to the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers
• Development of two local continuums of care, each including one acute care facility, multiple skilled nursing homes, personal care homes and home health care/hospice agencies
• Educational opportunities for all Pennsylvania healthcare providers on pressure ulcer prevention and treatment
