A repositioning and pressure care chart is the contemporaneous record that proves each at-risk resident or service user was turned or repositioned at the correct frequency, in the right positions, with skin checked at every episode. Without it, a Category 2 or above pressure ulcer becomes legally presumed avoidable under NICE CG179, exposing the provider to CQC enforcement under Regulation 12 (safe care and treatment) of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014, and potentially to safeguarding investigation by the local authority.
