title: Collaborative roles lead to success in wound healing.
abstract: Collaboration among all healthcare disciplines leads to success in planning strategies to prevent, treat, or heal pressure ulcers. Collaboration requires a respect for each discipline's scope of knowledge and uniqueness of functions as well as cooperation and communication in all aspects of patient care. The patient should be considered the quarterback and all the disciplines are merely the players.
