Effectively Addressing Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injuries With a Multidisciplinary Approach
We implemented a quality improvement program across 10 service lines, monitoring pressure injuries, HAPI incidence, and length of stay in 480 patients over 2 years. Although the reduction in HAPI was not statistically significant (<i>P</i> = .07), our program positively impacted the hospital's response to pressure injuries and warrants further replication.
