Top Digital Techniques to Reduce Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injuries with Kara Couch
Join Kara Couch, Director of Inpatient Wound Care at George Washington University Hospital, for a 60-minute webinar to cover the Top Digital Techniques to Reduce Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injuries.
A hospital-acquired pressure injury (HAPI) is a localized injury to the skin or underlying tissue that develops during an inpatient hospital stay. HAPIs are categorized as “never events” under the CMS Hospital-Acquired Condition (HAC) program, making the direct and indirect costs of HAPIs substantial for hospitals and health systems. As the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality reported, the cost of individual patient care ranges from $20,900 to $151,700 per injury and HAPIs cost the U.S. healthcare system $9.1 to $11.6 billion annually.
