The instrument is limited to just the data that the organisations require, the dashboard has been given a major facelift and it is now possible to retrieve data as much as possible from an electronic file. This revision of the LPZ has been carried out in close collaboration with coordinators and other staff of participating institutions, with the aim of bringing the renewed LPZ into line with the wishes and requirements of healthcare institutions.

In addition to the Netherlands, Germany, Austria and Switzerland, the United Kingdom is now also taking part in the LPZ. In November 2015 an LPZ measurement took place in the Nottingham region in the UK; this measurement involved the modules for pressure ulcer and incontinence and was held in around 30 care homes. The East Midlands Academic Health Science Network is coordinating the LPZ in the UK. With this expansion of the LPZ market we can now better compare the quality of healthcare in these countries at an international level.
