Area of Science:

  • Quality Improvement in Healthcare
  • Patient Safety Research
  • Clinical Nursing Practice

Background:

  • Hospital-acquired deep tissue pressure injuries (DTPIs) pose a significant risk to patient well-being and increase healthcare costs.
  • Effective prevention strategies are crucial for improving patient outcomes in acute care settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To implement and evaluate a prevention bundle aimed at reducing hospital-acquired deep tissue pressure injuries (DTPIs) within six months.
  • To assess the impact of a polymeric membrane dressing-focused prevention bundle on DTPI rates in intensive and progressive care units.

Main Methods:

  • A quality improvement project was conducted in a rural Midwestern hospital's intensive and progressive care units.
  • The project utilized the Institute for Healthcare Improvement's Psychology of Change framework, incorporating surveys, observations, and chart audits.
  • Pre- and post-implementation surveys measured nursing knowledge and protocol adherence regarding DTPI prevention.

Main Results:

  • No hospital-acquired DTPIs or progression of existing DTPIs were detected post-implementation.
  • Nursing surveys indicated increased knowledge and improved adherence to DTPI prevention protocols.
  • The project demonstrated a reduction in DTPIs and yielded fiscal benefits.

Conclusions:

  • The implemented prevention bundle effectively reduced hospital-acquired DTPIs, enhancing patient care and safety.
  • The project led to improved nursing knowledge and protocol adherence, contributing to better clinical decision-making.
  • Sustaining these improvements and expanding the prevention bundle to other units are key future strategies.
