Improving the Accuracy of Pressure Injury Management.

The incidence rate of pressure injury in our department was low; however, when a pressure injury occurred, it seems that wound healing was prolonged. Promoting wound healing requires a multi-pronged approach for pressure injury care form an essential part. We did a research and identified the following problems: 1.Lack of adequate training in pressure injury care, and 2.Inadequacy of protocol for managing pressure injury. After setting up a project team and discussing about the improvement plans, we designed an image illustrated decision-making system, revised guidance and wound care tools, established nursing wound care guideline, and held pressure injury on-the-job training class. After implementation of the project, the accuracy of pressure injury management improved from 68.4% to 97.3%. This project effectively improved accuracy of pressure injury care and may be considered and referenced by relevant medical organizations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
