Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Identifying strategies to protect patients most at risk for hospital-acquired pressure ulcers (HAPU) is essential. HAPUs have significant impact on patients and their families and have profound cost and reimbursement implications.
AIMS: This article describes the successful implementation of a hospital-wide mattress switch-out program using a Multidisciplinary Task Force, which resulted in a decrease in HAPUs and significant cost savings.
RESULTS: As a result of this quality improvement project supported by evidence, the hospital realized a 66.6% decrease in Stage III and IV HAPUs, a 50% reduction in patient complaints about mattress comfort, a cost savings of $714,724, and an endorsement of bedside nurse clinical autonomy by nursing and executive leaders.
LINKING EVIDENCE TO ACTION: Nursing leaders can effectively realize large-scale initiatives by developing and implementing wide-ranging operational projects, like this 2.5-day, 275-bed hospital mattresses switch-out.
