The pressures placed on quality care are mounting from all sides
of hospital patients affected 1
pressure injuries globally, complications from which result in the deaths of 60,000 every year in the US alone 3
greater risk of death than people with the same risk factors but without pressure injuries 4
Pressure injuries are painful and embarrasing for patients, affecting their independence and quality of life 5 . Budgets for wound care materials are being cut, making HAPU/I management even more difficult. The pressure to swap quality products for low cost may pose a threat to the delivery of patient care.
