The proven leader in turn protocol improvement + HAPI reduction
The LEAF System is backed by a wealth of evidence – including more than a hundred clinical studies – demonstrating:
- Improvement in turn quality or protocol adherence
- Reduced risk of developing HAPIs compared with standard care
- Reduced costs related to HAPIs compared with standard care
- Help in mitigating disparity in care around:
- Nursing shifts
- Patient characteristics such as BMI and ventilator status
- Help improving teamwork, workflow prioritization and communication, which is evident in nurse surveys
Get access to multiple pieces of high-quality evidence, featuring key outcomes, noteworthy metrics and relevant insights, with our full clinical compendium:
The compendium includes evidence supporting the LEAF System’s impact on:
HAPI reduction
Significantly reduced risk of pressure injuries by 94% (Compared with standard of care [p<0.02])23
Turn protocol adherence
Increase in turn protocol adherence rate from national average 52% to 77% – a relative increase of 48%24
Return on investment
Projected annual savings of $6,621,113 due to 77% reduction of HAPIs25
