Correct.
While PU risk assessments were documented in 52.8% of all patients reviewed in the 2004 survey, this does not constitute ‘routine’ assessment when more than one in five hospital patients have a PU.

There is also some concern regarding the quality of the assessments conducted and the implementation of a prevention plan even for patients assessed as ‘High Risk’. The PUPPS 2 survey showed that 16.6% of those patients rated as ‘No Risk’ or ‘Low Risk’ actually had a PU. Also, it will be seen that provision of support surfaces is an important part of prevention planning. However, 28.4% of patients (167) who had their risk assessed as 'High' to 'Very High' of developing a PU had no pressure relieving devices in situ.
