Abstract
The use of specialty support surfaces can be clinically beneficial for at-risk patients, but can prove costly if their use is not closely monitored. A decision tree can guide health care providers in selecting the most appropriate support surface based on the patient's condition. The process used by one medical center to develop and test a decision tree for specialty support surfaces selection is described.
