HAPI problems require modern solutions
Patient repositioning is vital for hospital-acquired pressure injury (HAPI) prevention,1 but inadequate tools and heavy workloads make it difficult for nurses to adhere to turn protocols. In fact, the national turn protocol adherence rate is just 48%.23
Now, there’s a modern, high-tech system to help you create personalized turn protocols, improve protocol adherence rates, confirm turn quality and reduce pressure injury incidence.
The LEAF Patient Monitoring System
Wearable patient sensor + user interface
- Personalized care for each patient
- Get digital turn reminders (in room and at the nurses’ station)
- Confirm the quality of patient turns
- Automatically generate reports
Hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) are on the rise
Despite a decrease in other hospital-acquired conditions, HAPIs are
up 6%3
Each year, complications from pressure injuries result in
60,000 deaths4
The average incremental cost of treating a pressure injury is
$21,7675
The LEAF System makes adhering to patient turning schedules easier6,7
Visual alerts in the patient room and at the nurses’ station make it easy for the whole team to see who needs to be turned and when.6,7 Plus, the LEAF System’s Integrated Positioning Technology™ is the first tool that precisely measures the effectiveness of patient turning, including patient turn frequency, turn angle and tissue recovery time.8,9
And it has been shown to work.2,6,7,10
