Summary

This study tests a decision support tool called CAPP-FIT to help prevent pressure injuries in people with spinal cord injury. About 808 veterans from 7 VA clinics will use a survey to identify risks, and providers get a report with recommended actions. The goal is to see if the tool reduces new pressure injuries and related hospital stays.
