Reducing Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injuries

When Boston Medical Center discovered it was not meeting national benchmarks for its hospital-acquired pressure injury (HAPI) rates, the organization took action. The hospital formed a multidisciplinary task force which identified aging beds as a likely contributor.

In this whitepaper, Boston Medical Center shares its journey to address HAPI rates in its critical care units. Read on to learn:^*

• Why the hospital chose the Hillrom Progressa+ Bed- a True ICU Bed from Baxter 
• How they have incorporated its Alternating Low Pressure (ALP) feature into a new protocol 
• How HAPI rates changed across its cardiac, medical and surgical ICUs — and what modifiable and unmodifiable factors may have contributed
