The proven leader in turn protocol improvement + HAPI reduction
The LEAF System is backed by a wealth of evidence – including more than a hundred clinical studies – demonstrating:
- Improvement in turn quality or protocol adherence
- Reduced risk of developing HAPIs compared with standard care
- Reduced costs related to HAPIs compared with standard care
- Help in mitigating disparity in care around:
- Nursing shifts
- Patient characteristics such as BMI and ventilator status
- Help improving teamwork, workflow prioritization and communication, which is evident in nurse surveys
