Abstract:
After identifying challenges with existing tools and structures aimed at reducing hospital-acquired pressure injuries in the intensive care unit, we employed new technology in the form of a wearable sensor to provide visual cues and promote the proper turning of patients. This discussion will cover the device, the development of inclusion and exclusion criteria, the application of the wearable sensor, and the overall success achieved after implementation, which resulted in a 54% reduction in hospital-acquired pressure injuries across a 120 bed critical care service line.
