Acknowledgments: The S3I was founded by the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP) in 2001. On November 7, 2019, the NPUAP announced a name change to the National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel (NPIAP). This article reflects the name change only as it applies historically, because the work was completed prior to the name change. The NPIAP currently provides oversight and support for S3I through the NPIAP Research Committee. As the parent organization for S3I, NPUAP board members reviewed this article. The authors thank Dr Janet Cuddigan for her editing assistance. The article supports the mission of the NPIAP by translating the work of S3I to more effectively support clinical decisions regarding support surface selection and use. The NPIAP review does not constitute an official NPIAP position or policy. The authors disclose that Ms Gruccio was a full-time employee of Stryker Medical during study completion. Further, Ms Thurman is the Vice President of Clinical Affairs for Wellsense, a manufacturer of continuous bedside pressure mapping.

Background: The Support Surface Standards Initiative (S3I) has evolved with the goal of standardizing language and performance evaluation of support surfaces. There is a consumer need for education about support surface standards to transfer new information with clinical relevance.
Objective: To develop a framework for meaningful dialogue through consensus building that drives value-based purchasing, propose a clinically relevant path for understanding how to apply data from the standards into critical interprofessional analysis and support surface selection, and navigate the first tier of a process targeted as an educational initiative within the Standards Committee.
