Formative qualitative evaluation of an improvement programme delivered in an English hospital trust to reduce harm from pressure ulcers
A sustained reduction in PUs was achieved during the evaluation period and participants felt that the approach helped to achieve this, regardless of the adaptations made to the delivery method due to the pandemic. To support improvements, it is vital to ensure systems such as data collection are accurate and timely. The necessity for building strong foundations for QI capability must not be underestimated, as greater QI knowledge leads to better engagement and outcomes.
