Wait-list

"During hospitalisation:~Patient's nutritional status assessed. Referred to a dietician before discharge if needed. Nurse assesses caregiver training needs and arranges training if required.~At discharge:~Patients receive PI educational pamphlets (hardcopy or softcopy). Emphasis on regular repositioning, skin inspection, proper nutrition, and hydration.~Patients with PI wounds:~Referred to home nursing or polyclinics for wound care. Only those with complex PI (stage \>3) receive up to two follow-ups by the H2H care team.~H2H team supports general care transition, not PI-specific follow-up alone. Any signs of PI deterioration will be monitored weekly throughout the waiting period for safety and ethical considerations.~If the index PI advances to a higher stage and reports increased pain after a week, the investigator will refer them to a community wound care nurse and record this as a deterioration and will start PI care bundle"
