Reduction in Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injuries: "Peer Pressure" from Successful Organizations Saleema Hashwani, PhD, MS, BScN Clinical Improvement Advisor, HSAG Tuesday, November 14, 2017 1
Scope of the Problem > 2.5 million patients in U.S. acute care facilities develop HAPI, and more than 60,000 die from associated complications 1 One single HAPUI can cost $70,000; total cost in U.S. is $11 billion dollars annually 2 California estimated 2017 cost associated with HAPI is $3.1 billion Harms associated with HAPI Pain Increased expense (about $5000/day) Prolonged length of stay, to premature death 1.

Key Lessons Identify unit champions Staging of PI (using standardized criteria) staff education Test out changes at one unit prior to rolling out at multiple units/with whole staff to increase efficacy and sustainability Perform RCAs and share timely results to the frontline staff, quality department, leadership (allocation of resources) Use interdisciplinary team s expertise for monitoring and preventing pressure injuries so that the whole responsibility does not fall on one discipline Include patient and family as partner 9
What Are You Going to do Differently Tomorrow? Next week? In the community? Community Acquired Pressure Injuries (CAPI) are on the rise 10
