Abstract
Objective: To implement a collaborative, interdisciplinary team approach to reducing hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) through nurse empowerment and engagement.
Methods: This quality improvement project was conducted at a 288-bed community hospital. The Donabedian model was used to design this intervention. The authors used a collaborative, interdisciplinary team approach for pressure injury prevention and management, utilizing nurse empowerment and engagement as driving forces to reduce HAPI rates.
Results: The incidence of HAPI decreased from a peak of 5.30% in April 2019 down to 0% from August 2019 to December 2020.
Conclusions: Pressure injuries are key quality indicators for patient safety and avoidance of patient harm. Through nurse empowerment and engagement, HAPIs were avoided, resulting in improved quality care outcomes and maintenance of a safe patient environment.
期刊介绍：
A peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal, Advances in Skin & Wound Care is highly regarded for its unique balance of cutting-edge original research and practical clinical management articles on wounds and other problems of skin integrity. Each issue features CME/CE for physicians and nurses, the first journal in the field to regularly offer continuing education for both disciplines.
