title: Promoting skin integrity: an interdisciplinary challenge.
abstract: The process of standardizing protocols to promote skin integrity in an interdisciplinary setting has proved to be an ongoing process. The referral team, nurses, physical therapists, nutritionists, and physicians continue to provide standardized care. Through this interdisciplinary process, the core skin care team continues to refine and develop standards to reflect current research findings. As we work together and share our knowledge, we improve the quality of care for our patients.
