Area of Science:

  • Clinical Nursing
  • Patient Safety
  • Healthcare Quality Improvement

Background:

  • Hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) remain a significant concern in healthcare settings.
  • Effective risk assessment tools are crucial for preventing HAPIs.
  • The Shieh Score was developed to identify hospitalized patients at high risk for pressure injuries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of the Shieh Score in reducing HAPIs.
  • To assess the impact of combining the Shieh Score with an early warning notification system and a standard preventative order set.
  • To measure the change in HAPI rates following the implementation of this integrated intervention.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective cohort study was conducted.
  • The study included nonpregnant, adult, hospitalized patients at a tertiary hospital during 2020.
  • The Shieh Score was used to identify high-risk patients, triggering an early warning notification and a standard preventative order set.

Main Results:

  • Implementation of the Shieh Score, early warning system, and standard order set led to a 38% reduction in HAPIs.
  • The mean incidence rate of HAPIs decreased from 1.03 to 0.64 per 1000 patient-days.
  • These positive results were observed during the COVID-19 pandemic year.

Conclusions:

  • The Shieh Score is an effective tool for identifying patients at high risk of developing HAPIs.
  • Combining the Shieh Score with an early warning system and standard preventative measures significantly decreases HAPI rates.
  • This integrated strategy enhances patient safety and improves the quality of care for hospitalized individuals.
