Pressure ulcer is defined as localized injury to the skin and/or underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence, as a result of pressure, or pressure in combination with shear and/or friction. • Numerator: Number of pressure ulcers developed using the National Advisory Panel (NPUAP)-Stage II or greater (II-IV+ eschar) for hospital-acquired pressure ulcers. • Denominator: Total number of inpatient days on unit.

  6. Required Measures:Frequency and Reporting • Frequency: Monthly on the TCAB unit. • Reporting: The data collection spreadsheet provided to the unit will have cells to enter inpatient days on the unit, number of falls, number of falls with harm, and pressure ulcers. The rate will be calculated in the spreadsheet.
