BACKGROUND: Hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) are common adverse events with large burdens on patients and health systems. In 2020, during the initial waves of the COVID-19 pandemic, the incidence of admitted patients with HAPIs of stage II and above in our health system rose from 2.92% to 3.80%. In response to rising HAPI rates across our own hospital system, we established a quality aim to reduce HAPIs stage II and above by 50% over 3 years from the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
METHODS: We designed a multidisciplinary quality improvement HAPI prevention program. Our initiative had 5 key aspects: fostering governance and accountability, providing education and training, changing clinical practice, monitoring data and evaluation, and modernizing environments and equipment.
RESULTS: HAPI rate (outcome measure) declined from 3.8% at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic to 1.6% (58% reduction, P <0.00001) postintervention. Braden Risk Assessment Tool use (process measure) improved from 88.2% to 92.2%. ( P =0.00024). Rate of patient falls with injuries (balancing measure) decreased from 1.5 per 1000 patient days to 1.0 per 1000 patient days ( P =0.0009).
CONCLUSIONS: Despite working during the COVID-19 pandemic where organizational resources were constrained and infection control practices were heightened, a multidisciplinary QI HAPI prevention program, informed by evidence-based practices and supported by access to real-time data, led to an ∼58% reduction in the HAPI rate.
