Healthcare organizations strive to minimize harm and provide a safe environment. Despite technological advancements, hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPI) continue to occur. This raises the question whether HAPIs may be unavoidable. The purpose of this session is to describe the findings of a research study that examined the proportion of HAPIs among patients in ICU/PCU that were unavoidable and the risk factors among patients differentiating avoidable from unavoidable HAPIs.
Objectives :
• Define unavoidable and avoidable pressure injuries.
• Identify the proportion of HAPIs among patients in ICU/PCU that are unavoidable.
• Identify risk factors among patients that differentiate avoidable and unavoidable pressure injuries.
