  2. Opportunity/Aim Statement: • Reduce Nosocomial Pressure Ulcers (PU) • Goal: 0% • Increase daily Braden Scale Compliance • Goal: 100% • Limit linen layers 3 or less • Goal: 100% Confidential for Quality Improvement Purposes Only

  3. PLAN • LUMC participates in quarterly National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI) Studies • Point prevalence performed consists of a one day study in which head to toe skin assessments for pressure ulcers, documentation, chart audits, and number of linen layers are collected. • Braden Scale Daily* Compliance is monitored monthly *as a proxy Braden Scale daily compliance consists of random audit done 2 times a month.

  4. Solutions Implemented to Reduce PU • Mandated daily Braden Scale Assessment – May 2008 • Developed cards for Braden Scale low, mod, high risk guidelines • Implemented Inter-Rater Reliability Stage 1 ulcers • Added Pressure Ulcer Prevention to Managers Meeting Agenda Item • Expanded Team Turn; Back to Bed; and Save Our Skin Programs on more nursing units • Implemented non plastic breathable adult/pediatric briefs • Ongoing education on reducing linen layers and adult briefs • Developed Evidenced Based Decision Tree for heel pressure relief • Migrated existing Braden Scale CBL to new E-Learning system – 799 completed • Filled open Enterostomal Nurse Clinician Position Confidential for Quality Improvement Purposes Only

  8. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) • Pressure ulcer estimated costs = $43,180 per stay • Reports 257,412 preventable pressure ulcers occur as secondary diagnosis • As of 10/1/08, CMS no longer reimburses hospital for nosocomial pressure ulcers Confidential for Quality Improvement Purposes Only

  9. Analysis of Data - Nosocomial Pressure Ulcer Rate • Nosocomial PU rate has decreased with implementation of Inter-Rater Reliability on Stage 1 ulcers. • New EPIC RN Documentation has assisted in capturing Pressure Ulcers Present on Admission (POA). • Further education on documentation is needed to prevent nosocomial PU rate to be artificially inflated. Confidential for Quality Improvement Purposes Only

  10. Analysis of Data – Braden Scale Compliance • Goal met at 100%. • Identifying who is at risk allows for earlier implementation of a pressure ulcer action plan. • Appear to be meeting goal of Braden scale done daily; however, need to monitor if sustained over time. Confidential for Quality Improvement Purposes Only

  11. Analysis of Data-Reducing Linen Layers • Linen layers 3 or less in past 2 quarters > 90% • Some improvement seen • Need to continue with education. Confidential for Quality Improvement Purposes Only

  12. Next Steps • Continue Targeting nursing units with high Nosocomial rates • Continue stage I inter-rater reliability of skin surveyor • Begin PU prevalence study data collection on portal • Increase turn around time on reports • House wide education on documentation • Educate on Specialty bed & Bariatric selection flowchart • Educate PCTs on reducing linen layers • Subcommittee to evaluate and update: P&P and EPIC documentation changes • Implement Evidenced –based Decision Tree for Heel Pressure Relief • Implement low, mod, and high risk guideline cards • Enterostomal nurses meeting individually with managers • Educate on 2009 Skin Care Resources available Confidential for Quality Improvement Purposes Only
