    A hospital implemented a Pressure Ulcer Prevention Program, leading to reduced pressure ulcer incidence and improved nursing documentation. This initiative enhanced patient care and controlled costs.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Care
    • Healthcare Management
    • Patient Safety

    Background:

    • Pressure ulcer prevention and management require specialized nursing expertise.
    • High costs and challenging situations are associated with pressure ulcers.
    • A baseline audit identified needs in skin care, equipment, and documentation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To implement a comprehensive Pressure Ulcer Prevention Program in a community hospital.
    • To evaluate the program's effectiveness in reducing pressure ulcer incidence.
    • To assess improvements in nursing documentation for pressure ulcer prevention.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a "Pressure Ulcer Prevention Program".
    • Conducting a baseline audit of skin issues, equipment, and documentation.
