Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pressure ulcers are a problem in health care settings and it has a negative impact in health care while delivering patient care. Preventing pressure ulcers is important in increasing or maintaining quality of life, improve patient outcomes, and decrease costs. There are measures implemented in the plan of care for patients at risk for pressure ulcers. The Braden Score scale is an assessment tool used to identify patients at risk for pressure ulcers and initiates preventative measures. The Braden Score scale is performed with every admission to the hospital and then documented in daily nursing assessments. The contributing factors for developing pressure ulcers are age, immobility, incontinence, inadequate nutrition, dehydration, multiple co-morbidities, circulatory illnesses, and pressure from devices. In a research study (McInerney, J., 2008), measures such as documenting in electronic medical records in nurses notes, Braden Score scale assessment, performing pressure relief measures, a wound ostomy nurse, and having an interdisciplinary team to decide on protocols decreased the prevalence of pressure ulcers and decreased hospital costs. A strategic plan was implemented to educate nursing staff on preventing pressure ulcers and monitor prevalence of pressure ulcers in an acute care hospital in West Texas. The Pressure Ulcer Prevention (PUP) team and supervisor of team, Nola Dailing, RN, BSN, will create a power point presentation for the nursing staff on identifying patients' at risk using the Braden Score scale, preventative measures, and providing handouts for patients and families, and conducting surveys to provide feedback on presentation. The clinical managers will keep track of all the nursing staff on their unit on taking the education online quarterly. The presentation will be mandatory every 3 months up to 18 months and then evaluate the incidence of pressure ulcers in the hospital. The goal of the study is to improve or maintain quality of life in patient care, improve patient outcomes, save lives, and decrease hospital costs. Reinforcing preventative measures on pressure ulcers to nursing staff will create more competent and efficient nurses to improve patient outcomes. Documentation is important for nurses to address skin problems and implement measures to improve skin. This will help track the progress of the skin problem and implement other measures to prevent further breakdown. Conducting pressure ulcer prevalence and incidence studies on a quarterly basis is an excellent tool for gathering data, identifying trends, and monitoring patient outcomes and staff compliance. ("Jenkins, M., O'Neal, E.", 2010). Educating nursing staff and patients is a way to improve quality of life and decrease prevalence of pressure ulcers.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pressure ulcer is common healthcare issue that can leads to harmful effects on patients, healthcare organizations and the overall healthcare system. In Unites states, there are about 16 million patients develop pressure ulcers in acute care settings annually (Nicosia, G., Gliatta, A., Woodbury, M., and Houghton, P, 2007). Accountability and liability towards the hospital acquired pressure ulcer has been increased therefore the health care organizations give much importance for the preventive aspect of pressure ulcers by implementing effective pressure ulcer prevention measures on patients who are at a great risk for developing pressure ulcer while at the hospital. The treatment of pressure ulcer is expensive so the increased cost of pressure ulcers and lengthy hospitalizations may lead to loss of revenue to the healthcare organizations ((Agency For Healthcare Research and Quality AHRQ, 2013). Uses of pressure relieving mattresses are one of the important pressure ulcer strategies in the acute care settings. 0−́Pressure ulcers are expensive in human (physical and mental burden) as well as in financial terms; consequently, prevention is an important topic for clinical practice0+́ (Heyneman, A., Vanderwee, K., Grypdonck, M., and Defloor, T, 2009). The prevention of hospital acquired pressure ulcers based on reduction of the duration and magnitude of pressure and shearing forces (Heyneman, et. al, 2009). The duration of shear and pressure can be decreased by using alternating pressure air mattresses or repositioning the patient (Heyneman, et. al, 2009). Therapeutic support surfaces are an integral intervention for both the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers (The National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP), 2013).A large amount research has been conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of pressure relieving mattresses and support surfaces in preventing the occurrence of hospital acquired pressure ulcers. The author of this paper reviewed 15 peer reviewed research articles to determine the effectiveness of pressure relieving mattresses for preventing incidence of hospital acquired pressure ulcers among elderly patients in acute and long term care settings as compared to standard hospital mattresses. The evidence based data's collected from these literatures were reviewed and based on these data's new pressure ulcer prevention action plan was developed. Approval for launching a new pressure ulcer prevention plan was obtained from the facility management and the information was communicated to the nurses and other employees appropriately. During the implementation phase proper use of pressure prevention mattress was combined with other prevention strategies to reduce the incidence of pressure ulcers. After the successful implementation of new pressure ulcer prevention plan the effectiveness of the of pressure ulcer prevention project was evaluated by using auditing, direct observation, employees survey, questionnaire and patient survey.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quality improvement for patients at risk for pressure ulcers, also called pressure injuries, is a focus in the hospital setting. Education to increase awareness of and prevent pressure ulcers has been found to be effective in decreasing the risk of a patient acquiring a pressure ulcer. There has been an urgency in creating opportunities for education for pressure ulcer prevention for those involved in patient care. Pressure ulcer prevention programs have been developed in acute care and home care settings nationwide. However, these programs are intended for healthcare staff and nursing professionals. The expectation is that the knowledge attained in these education programs will be used by healthcare professionals to educate and increase patient/caregiver knowledge and participation because, currently, there are minimal resources or programs geared towards caregivers with limited medical or nursing experience. Family caregivers and patients look to the healthcare team as a source for knowledge and expertise when their loved one is hospitalized. By providing inexperienced caregivers with pressure ulcer prevention education, they will have the tools they need to be an active participant in the prevention of pressure injuries for their patients. Increasing caregivers' knowledge, as well as determining areas for improvement, is essential in accomplishing the goal of pressure ulcer prevention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on statistics from the Agency for healthcare research and quality, there was 503,000 hospital stays in the United States which patients had pressure ulcers in 2006. This is a 78.9% increase from 1993 (Russo, Steiner, and Spector, 2008). The Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services has recognized pressure ulcers as a costly and an avoidable event in health care facilities. The health care industry today is recognizing more the impact that pressure ulcers is having on the patient, community, and health care facilities. In turn further research is being performed to determine how to curb this significant increase. Documented studies have shown that the knowledge by staff related to pressure ulcers is deficient, and the awareness to the severity of the issue is lacking. Continued education has been attributed to a decrease in the incidence of pressure ulcers in several hospitals across the United States. The pressure ulcer assessment tool was created in the past to help health care professionals identify patients at risk for developing pressure ulcers. Hospitals today in the United States are evaluating the usefulness of the Braden scale in the different specialty units. Implementing continued education and modified Braden scales in the current hospital protocols can decrease the occurrences of pressure ulcers within the acute care facilities. This in turn will decrease the length of stay and health care costs to the citizens and businesses.

Book excerpt: According to documented studies, pressure ulcers are a significant concern in the health care field as they influence adverse patient outcomes, increased length of hospital stay, increased cost of treatments, and mortality among patients at risk. Furthermore, research shows 2.5 million patients in the United States are estimated to be treated in an acute care setting annually and an expenditure of $11 billion is estimated for the treatment of pressure ulcers annually (Sookyung, and others, 2013). Primary prevention is key to treatment of disease and prevention of sentinel events causing harm to patients in health care settings; assessment tools beneficial to nursing practice provide preventative measures to promote primary prevention. This article is a review of research addressing the validity of the current Braden scale assessment tool for predicting risk of developing pressure ulcers in acute care patients. This review has prompted identification of a problem and solution to the problem, both of which have been outlined in a plan to implement, evaluate and disseminate the evidence. The conclusion has revealed the need for a revision of the current widely used Braden scale risk assessment tool to reflect the complexity of disease processes as well as incorporate nursing judgment and critical thinking.
