Using Innovative Technology to Improve Efficacy of Patient Repositioning
Background Hospital acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs): Associated with poor patient outcomes HAPI costs can range from $2,159 - $21,410 (CALNOC, 2017) Can result in an increased length of stay MemorialCare Orange Coast: In 2016, CCU had 45 HAPI s with potential costs of $97,155 $963,450 After evaluation of our practice, the incidence of HAPIs in our CCU was above CALNOC Benchmark. Patient repositioning is the gold standard of care Does our practice of repositioning result in adequate offloading of pressure?
What is Leaf? Background: Wireless, wearable single-patient sensor that monitors patient movement and body position Allows caregivers to customize turn protocols for each patient Allows for Wireless data collection and transfer to central monitoring station Generates reports for data analysis Turn Frequency Turn angle Reperfusion time
Leaf Cost and Infrastructure Background: Leaf patient Sensor -$199 per sensor -Battery life 21 days Mesh Network of Leaf Relay Antennas (no cost) Leaf Back-end Mesh Network server software and SQL Database Leaf turn management software Training -Day and Night Shift Support (on-going) -Root Cause Analysis Reports No Monthly Service Fee

Lessons Learned Late Adopters: Big brother watching me I know how to turn my patients Light Bulb: CCU has high turn compliance Not offloading pressure at 20
Success and Opportunities Success Real time visual cues for adequacy of turn Daily reports that provide turn and offloading compliance Assist RN s with prioritization of workload Daily reports that can be shared with staff regarding turn and offloading compliance Ease of reporting; Real time access Potential to interface turning/repositioning in EMR Opportunities Sensor part of workflow Nurse clinical judgement for sensor placement Bariatric patients Education (staff, patient, and family) Once initiated, keep sensor on High risk areas; (bridge of nose, heels, etc)
