At this 620 bed level 1 trauma center, we found that although we had a robust Pressure ulcer/injury prevention program we continued to have reportable pressure ulcer/injuries. Within this session we will share the data that was collected and analyzed over 5 years, in order to find the patient related risk factors in the development of Deep Tissue Injuries in the ICU and how these risk factors compare to the average ICU patient within this facility. We will further show how we are building on this science while staying focused on Nursing Quality Indicators.
