1 Joyce Black, PhD, RN, CWCN, FAAN University of Nebraska Medical Center Omaha, NE Study of Adult Nursing Units using NDNQI data 1381 hospitals from all 50 states from Outcome data, changes in rates after ruling/payment change of: Pressure ulcers Injurious falls Central line associated bloodstream infections Catheter-associated urinary tract infections Waters, Daniels, Bazzoli et al. Effect of Medicare s nonpayment for Hospital Acquired Conditions: lessons for future policy. JAMA 2015, 175 (3), jblack@unmc.edu 1 jblack@unmc.edu 2 11% reduction in CLABSI s - sustained 10% reduction in CAUTI s sustained.5% reduction in rates of falls - flat 1% reduction in rates of stage III and IV pressure ulcers sustained slow decline We acknowledge the concern that not all pressure ulcers are avoidable. However, we believe improving screening to identify ulcers on admission will improve quality of care. Institutes of Medicine, 2007 Standardized practices had been developed and tested for CLABSI and CAUTI Practice change was fewer steps Practice change may have only had to occur once or once a day Practice change involved fewer people and products jblack@unmc.edu 3 jblack@unmc.edu 4 Pressure injury reduction requires more than admission assessments to change the outcomes! Processes of care are more nebulous with some decisions made at the bedside Nurses carry out assessment and planning but may not do the turning However, the positive outcomes from multilayer foam dressings was just emerging! jblack@unmc.edu 5 Reduce the intensity of the pressure Support surfaces Multilayer foam dressing to reduce the pressure Offload the heel Reduce the duration of the pressure Turning and repositioning Reduce the effect of shear Keeping the head of the bed low Multilayer foam dressings to reduce shear forces Improve the health of the skin Giving nutrition and hydration Keeping the skin clean and dry Protecting damaged skin jblack@unmc.edu 6 1

2 Optimal Patient Outcomes Consistent Care Delivery Quality/Performance Strategy Organizational Support on all levels EB Practice for HAPI Prevention 7 8 Consider applying a polyurethane foam dressing to bony prominences (e.g., heels, sacrum) for the prevention of pressure ulcers in anatomical areas frequently subjected to friction and shear (B/1) Lack of clarity in discussion about actual structure of dressing Not all studies cited used polyurethane foam Many polyurethane foam dressings on the market Important to know how they work and if they can reduce pressure, shear or microclimate Dressings do not replace the rest of prevention! (C/1) Use of prophylactic dressings over bony prominences reduced the relative risk of pressure ulcers by 0.21 (p = ) Moore and Webster, The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2013, 8 (8) Use of prophylactic dressings reduce pressure injury in immobile patients Clark, Systematic review of the use of dressings in the prevention of pressure ulcers, Int Wound J 2014,11,(5), jblack@unmc.edu 9 jblack@unmc.edu 10 What is the effectiveness of implementing a single PI prevention in ICU compared to bundled intervention?

Does versus can Does the patient have normal or delayed capillary refill? Palpable pulses? Does the patient have normal sensation? Does the patient wear TEDs? When these factors are present patients are at risk Heels need to be floated from the bed Boots can be used Often cannot ambulate Often too hot to wear Pillows can be used Don t stay under the calf Migrate to under the knee Fall off of the bed Don t fully elevate the heel Are placed under the heel As organizational Pressure Ulcer rates decreased MDR PrIs became much more apparent MDRPrIs often were misidentified or excused That s just what happens when... Not typically tracked, trended or reported May not be easy to prevent device may be an essential diagnostic/therapeutic component of treatment Although most are avoidable, not all are What is a medical device? Fit the device to the patient Measure devices for proper fit Pretreat the skin with thin foam dressings Work with other disciplines to assure this happens Remove or move daily to see the skin Be aware of edema Devices can be lost in bariatric patient skin folds 4

5 Not much data to support benefits of one surface over another General recommendations ICU = high immersion with low air loss General units = foam with alternating pressure Bariatric beds for those over 350 lbs Early mobility programs call for extend sitting Position patient for stability and ability to perform usual activities (SoE= C; SoR = ) Tilt the seat back to prevent sliding Place feet on foot rest or foot stool jblack@unmc.edu 25 This patient is not safe in this chair, nor is he sitting on the chair cushion Are not designed for pressure redistribution Need a seat cushion Ulcers develop after 4-6 hours of sitting Patient needs repositioning hourly if not moving or restrained Call, Pedersen, Bill, et al.

7 Recognize their world view Numbers and dollars Be aware of pressure injury data in your facility Move root cause analysis findings into quality improvement plans How many of your PI start in OR? ER? ICU? Target education and interventions to the staff in high risk areas Present current HAPI/FAPI rates and cost Stage 1 and 2 = $2, Stage 3 and 4 = $71, to $127, Cost Data from: Padula, Mishra, Makic et al. Improving the quality of pressure ulcer care with prevention: A cost effective analysis. Med Care 2011, 49 (4), Brem, Maggi, Neirman et al. High cost of stage IV pressure ulcers. Am J Surg, (4), jblack@unmc.edu 37 jblack@unmc.edu 38 Current hospital rate is 2.5% 2% stage 1 and 2 and 0.5% stage 3 and 4 Annual acute admissions are 24, stage 1 and 2 at $2,771. = $1,360, stage 3 and 4 x $71,500. = $4,361, stage 3 and 4 x $127,000. = $7,747,000 Total spent on HAPI last year = $13,469, Usage and cost data for high cost and/or high volume items Clinician request for new products World class companies provide 40 hours of training for their reps yearly How much training does your team get? jblack@unmc.edu 39 jblack@unmc.edu 40 Create a list of attributes for the product What do you want the product to do? Or not do? Create a grid that lists Clinical benefits Safety features Ease of use Look at 360 degrees of product use Involve direct caregivers (Magnet) Development of grid provides data devoid of opinion and emotion Decision becomes transparent Cost per item now x volume = annual expense Cost per new item x volume (can remain the same or change) = projected expense Hopefully, will show annual savings jblack@unmc.edu 41 jblack@unmc.edu 42 7

8 What is the cost of the problem you are trying to solve? What is your annual pressure ulcer incidence and actual number of patients with ulcers? What are pressure ulcers costing your system? Compute the number of cases you would need to prevent to recoup your cost Look for studies that show Number Needed to Treat (NNT) Values the number of patients you need to treat to prevent one additional bad outcome (pressure ulcer) Study of silicone dressings for prevention of pressure ulcers in ICU reported a NNT of patients would be treated with dressings to prevent 1 pressure ulcer (Santamaria, 2013) jblack@unmc.edu 43 jblack@unmc.edu 44 Team needs to examine options for products Measure products performance and attributes against the grid Choose best 2-3 Ask companies to trial the products Will need staff training on products Monitor performance of new product Is it doing what you want it to do? Are you seeing the results you want to see? Root Cause Analysis on all Full Thickness HAPI Goal to determine when and where ulcer began Not to blame, but to guide care and focus education Start with first notation of PI, stage, location Go back into the record and examine events 48 hours for DTPI hours for Stage 3,4 and Unstageable Consider location of ulcer and determine position of patient at the time pressure was applied to body Ask could anything been done differently at that time? jblack@unmc.edu 45 jblack@unmc.edu 46 Guide Communication about Risk Plans How does the bedside caregiver know how, when and where to position patient? Do staff know how to turn patients without causing back injury? Does nurse know and when to examine skin beneath preventive dressing? How does the nurse obtain speciality beds during off hours? How well is nutrition being addressed? How is skin care being provided? And by whom? Additional training Information available in real time Additional recognition This button became a coveted item Several have gone on to become wound nurses! jblack@unmc.edu 47 jblack@unmc.edu 48 8
