Transcription

1 The $$$ and Sense of Pressure Ulcer Reduction: People, Products, and Perseverance September 30, 2010, 2:00 PM EDT Hospitals are chosen to contribute to the NDNQI monographs based on NDNQI data showing their clear improvement in outcomes. These four hospitals all showed significant improvement in reducing pressure ulcer rates and provided case studies for the 2007 and 2009 NDNQI monographs. Now the authors of these case studies will report on the tools, teams, and processes they have used to sustain improvement over the intervening years. Margaret Talley PhD, RN, CNS, CWCN AP District Wound Clinical Nurse Specialist Palomar Pomerado Health Hospital District Poway and Escondido, California Margaret Talley, a wound care clinical nurse specialist for Palomar Pomerado Health in Escondido, Calif., took an existing wound care program to the next level, dramatically reducing the percentage of patients with hospital acquired pressure ulcers. For her efforts, Dr Talley received the prestigious Cherokee Inspired Comfort Award in Dr. Talley completed her PhD dissertation in May of 2010 titled Pressure ulcer risk factors for patients with hospital versus community acquired pressure ulcers for which she received the 2010 California Clinical Nurse Specialist Research grant. Nancy Cann, MSN, RN Clinical Outcomes Specialist, Nursing Performance Improvement Baptist Medical Center Downtown Jacksonville, Florida Nancy.cann@bmcjax.com Nancy has been involved in the Quality and/or Performance Improvement field for the past 13 years. She currently serves as a Clinical Outcomes Specialist Nursing PI for Baptist Medical Center Downtown. She received her CPHQ this past year as well as her Green Belt certification. As chair of the Skin Integrity Taskforce and consultant for the Skin Care Champions, Nancy works closely with a multidisciplinary team in the prevention and reduction of hospital acquired pressure ulcers.

Janet Hanley, MBA, BSN, RN, NEA BC CNO/VP of Patient Care Services Sharp Grossmont Hospital LaMesa, California Janet.hanley@sharp.com Janet Hanley was the author of an article titled NDNQI Data Stimulated Practice Improvement Plans to Reduce Pressure Ulcers published by the ANA. She has been the facility coordinator for Pressure Ulcer prevention and quarterly prevalence studies since early As CNO and VP of Patient Care Services at Sharp Grossmont, she has led the hospital in continuous improvement and best practices for many years, and the organization has presented their Pressure Ulcer program and data at several National, Statewide and local conferences.

Problems with surgical incisions Other skin problems pressure ulcers, skin tears, perineal dermatitis, tape burns, chemical burns, candida, etc. Use Screening Tool for Specialty Bed/Mattress to identify need for pressure redistribution surface REMOVE from specialty surface if ALL of the following are true (assess daily): Pt. not tall, heavy/wide or on rotation therapy Skin intact with no moisture issues Ambulatory several times/day with minimal assist Activity Mobility Nutrition Friction & Shear 3 or less 3 or less 2 or less 2 or less Passive range of motion unless contraindicated.

Turn every 2 hours or more frequently using Maxislides & turning wedge. Avoid placing patient directly on trochanter. If skin breakdown on sacrum, DO NOT position on back If hemodynamic instability, place small pillows under hips and shoulders to relieve pressure. Pillows between knees when turned Turning Clock in room Heels off bed. (Heel Lift) May use pillow (temporarily) by placing lengthwise. Assess need for nutrition consult Evaluate for supplemental nutrition Adequate hydration; Accurate intake and output Daily weights Maxislides for repositioning Protect sacrum, elbows and heels (padding, Heel Lift) Elevate knees before raising HOB HOB no higher than 30 degrees unless contraindicated Skin protectant apply every 4 hours & PRN
