1 Pressure Injuries: Prevention That Works Joyce Pittman PhD, ANP-BC, FNP-BC, CWOCN Indiana University Health Indianapolis, IN 2017 National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel Pressure Injuries: Prevention That Works Disclosures: AACN grant recipient- Research Impact grant Unavoidable pressure injuries in critical care Smith & Nephew- consultant JWOCN Deputy Editor 1

2 Objectives Describe components of a sustainable pressure injury program. Name 2 exemplars of successful Pressure Injury prevention programs. Describe innovative methods to incorporate into your PIP program. Essentials Components of Pressure Injury (PI) Prevention 1. Pressure injury admission assessment 2. Daily pressure injury risk assessment 3. Daily (routine) skin assessment 4. Moisture management 5. Maximize nutrition 6. Minimize pressure Educate staff, provider, patient, family 2

3 Essential Components of PI Prevention 1. Evaluate the individual s clinical condition and pressure ulcer risk factors 2. Define and implement interventions that are consistent with individual needs, goals and recognized standards of practice 3. Monitor and evaluate the impact of the interventions 4. Revise the approaches as appropriate (NPUAP, 2010; CMS) Structure- Process- Outcomes To achieve and sustain the lowest possible HAPI rates, you should ask: 1. What structure needs to be in place 2. What process should be implemented and monitored 3. How should outcomes be measured and reports 3

4 Pressure Injuries: Prevention That Works STRUCTURE- PROCESS- OUTCOMES 4 Magnet Model Domains: 1. Transformational leadership 2. Structural empowerment 3. Exemplary professional practice 4. New knowledge; innovation and improvement. Successful implementation of these elements yields measurable positive outcomes (W. V. Padula, Mishra MK, Makic MB, Valuck RJ, 2014 Apr). Transformational Leadership Key leader stakeholder (VP) appointed to facilitate/support PIP initiatives PIP clinical program facilitator appointed/designated Sets clear expectations for benchmarking, outcomes, and accountability. Removes barriers 4

5 Transformational Leadership Clear reporting structure and bidirectional communication for the PIP program in the nursing organizational framework identified. Board level (Safety and Risk Board) Nurse Executive Council PPS committee WOC/PIP committee Facility PPC Facility PIP Unit Time and resources for group meetings and projects is supported Supports use of FTE to do the work- system facility unit, and communicates those expectations to all levels. Supports interdisciplinary team development. Structural empowerment PIP Team established: system, facility, unit level, multidisciplinary Bi-directional reporting/ accountability Multidisciplinary: WOC, CNS, RN, RT, PT, RD, Risk, Social Work, Educator (staff/patient), Ethics, Supply Chain, IT Continuum of care:- Acute care, Home Care, Long term care, LTAC Recognition of excellence- system, facility, unit, individual PIP Member role/responsibilities/expectations was established and approved by NEC PIP Education expectations/opportunities- Embedded annual/orientation staff education/competencies, WTA program CAP Conference presentations/attendance 5

6 Exemplary professional Practice Evidence-based PIP protocol, plan of care, order sets developed and embedded into EMR. PIP is hard-wired into care at the bedside but also ancillary areas- OR, ED, transportation- safe handoff, order sets, triggers, etc.. HAPI prevalence/processes benchmarking Monthly rather than quarterly. Transparent at unit level. PI integration into IT- quality data reports, triggers, e-measures EMR design triggers specific nursing interventions based on risk assessment EMR generates daily/real time PU occurrences Moving toward meaningful data- incidence rather than prevalence Culture of Safety through standardized Root Cause Analysis process NPUAP RCA template Avoidable versus unavoidable HAPI 6

7 Save our SKIN! 3/3/2017 Pressure Ulcer Prevention Do No Harm through Elimination of Hosptial Acquired Pressure Ulcers Yes Assess skin Document POA within 24 hrs Complete Braden risk and skin assessment Braden < 18 or POA Implement skin/ wound interventions/ orders based on risk Initiate Phase 1 and 2 of skin care prevention PPOC Evaluate skin based on implemented interventions Risk or skin integrity changed No Continue skin plan of care No Surface selection Initiate Phase 1 and 2 of skin care prevention PPOC Yes Keep turning Evaluate skin Incontinence/ moisture management Risk or skin integrity changed Nutrition No Continue PU prevention plan of care Process Measures: % skin assessment completed and documented POA within 24 hours % accuracy with wound order set completion based on risk Standard Work Requirement (discussed in huddles/bedside report, etc) 1. Skin wound orderset included in admission packet and placed on every chart 2. Assess risk with Braden and anytime change in status 3. Complete skin wound orderset based on risk Did you know? HAPU care can cost up to $70,000 Patients with a HAPI have a 2-6 times greater mortality risk 70% of pressure ulcers occur in patients over 70 years of age BUNDLE these pieces together When completed TOGETHER, they are more effective! Document your skin assessment on admission and every shift. Assess your patient s Pressure Injury Risk by documenting their BRADEN SCORE within 4 hours of admission and every shift. 1) Braden Risk completed on admission & every shift 2) Skin assessment on admission & every shift Revise interventions according to patient condition N Nutrition Addressed S Surface Appropriate K Keep turning Q2hrs includin g devices I Incontinence Management (Breathable pads &/or moisture barriers) Commit to putting ALL of the pieces together to prevent 7

8 HAPI Data- Communicating Results New knowledge; innovation and improvement Research activities- WOCN grant recipient x 3- BMS RCT, BMS translation into practice, PIPI Device-related HAPI- AACN grant recipient/webinar Nov 2014 Soft silicone dsg as prevention- cost savings of $271,000- $1,972,100 WOC Team redesign- IUH Quality award Supports EBP projects to improve PIP- WTA program EBP projects PIP and linen use PIP and progressive mobility PIP and Braden risk assessment PIP and support surface Supports publication of clinical work- journal articles, abstract submissions, poster presentations, podium presentations. Recognizes innovation- standing agenda item (tests of change) Promotes PIP beyond organization, into the community- WTA Community Program 8

9 Conclusion An effective and sustainable PIP program can be developed using the four Magnet Model domains of: Transformational leadership Structural empowerment Exemplary professional practice New knowledge; innovation and improvement. Successful implementation of these elements yields measurable positive outcomes.(w. V. Padula, Mishra MK, Makic MB, Valuck RJ, 2014 Apr) References Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).
