20
minutes is what I've learned over the years. Don't know if is
actually fact or if its is just something I've been taught along the
way.What does everyone else think?
Is there a standard of time for which an area
remains pink is a Stage I ulcer? Or is this facility defined? I
can't find in print anywhere a standard of time for this.

All pressure ulcers Stage 1 through 4 are
factored into the numerator for the Quality Indicators used in the survey
process as well as for the Quality Measures posted on the Internet at www.medicare.gov.
