Pressure Ulcer Reduction Project Results
from the University Health System, Inc.
in Knoxville, TN
Outcomes: The 9 East NDNQI
Pressure ulcer rate decreased to zero
percent for the second and third
quarters of 2008. In the fourth quarter,
we continued to stay below the national
benchmark at 3.3%
Recommendations: All patients
should be assessed for evidence of and
risk for skin breakdown at the ears. If
the patient is wearing chronic oxygen or
oxygen for an extended period, Comfort
Straps® should be applied as a pressure
relieving device. Comfort Straps® should
be available in all Omni cells next to
the oxygen tubing as a reminder for use.
