The ROSE Prevention System™
Earlier recognition. Timely action. More consistent pressure injury prevention
Changes in mobility, skin or seating can be missed during busy care routines. ROSE helps teams spot changing risk and act earlier
The ROSE Prevention Framework
Identify Risk Early
Spot early changes in skin, mobility, nutrition and continence
Prevent Through Action
Prevent pressure injuries through positioning, seating, equipment and mobility support
Monitor and Detect Change
Track skin and mobility changes so concerns prompt timely review
Educate and Empower
Build staff confidence and consistency through practical training and coaching.
Evidence Behind The ROSE Approach
01 — Early Risk Identification
Early and regular skin and tissue assessment helps identify subtle signs of pressure-related damage, enabling timely intervention before the injury progresses.

02 — Pressure Redistribution
Appropriate pressure-redistributing support surfaces help reduce sustained pressure, friction and shear for individuals at risk.

03 — Seating & Posture
Individualised seating assessment, appropriate postural support and pressure-redistributing cushions help reduce pressure and shear while supporting comfort, stability and function.

04 — Workforce Education
Structured pressure injury education strengthens staff knowledge, visual assessment skills and clinical judgement, supporting more consistent prevention practices.
