In our latest NPIAP podcast, host Dr. Joyce Black sits down with dermatologist Hadar Avihai Lev‑Tov, MD for a deep dive into the emerging concept of skin failure.

They unpack how skin failure differs from pressure injuries, why accurate diagnosis matters, and the complexities of recognizing skin changes in critically ill patients. This insightful conversation underscores the urgent need for clearer definitions, stronger evidence, and collaboration across clinical disciplines.

NPIAP

The National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel (NPIAP) is an independent not-for-profit professional organization dedicated to the prevention and management of pressure injuries. Formed in 1986, the NPIAP Board of Directors is composed of leading experts from different health care disciplines— all of whom share a commitment to the prevention and management of pressure injuries. The NPIAP serves as a resource to health care professionals, government, the public, and health care agencies; and welcomes and encourages the participation of those interested in pressure injury issues through utilization of NPIAP educational materials, participation at national conferences, and support of efforts in public policy, education and research.

The NPIAP, assisted by multiple corporations and organizations, has become an internationally recognized entity. The collaboration of professionals, corporations, and governmental agencies offers a unique model for addressing major healthcare issues. The European Pressure Injury Advisory Panel and the Japanese Society of Pressure Ulcers have adapted the NPIAP model in establishing their organizations.
