Improving turning compliance and reducing pressure injuries in the acutely ill patient
In this study, the use of wearable technology to cue patient turning reduced the number of hospital-acquired pressure injuries by 67% in the first 12 months. Additionally, 92% of nursing staff felt that the sensor program improved their unit communication.
“Turning” to Technology: Reducing Hospital Acquired Pressure Injuries in Critical Care with Visual Turn Cueing
This study shows how investing in technology such as the LEAF Patient Monitoring System can transform nursing team adherence with turning protocols, strengthen patient outcomes and improve a nursing-sensitive metric.
Documentation of patient repositioning events: Comparison of Electronic Medical Record documentation and accelerometer-based sensors
This study of turning documentation methods showed how wearable sensors, which record turning automatically, resulted in documentation that was 9x more frequent than that of manual EHR flowsheets.
Using turn cueing technology to reduce HAPIs in LTACH: Pilot results
This four-month pilot study demonstrated a 94% reduction in the incidence of hospital-acquired pressure injuries through the use of wearable sensors to cue patient turns, along with an estimated ROI of more than $370,000.
Transforming Pressure Ulcer Prevention in the ICU
See how one facility reduced hospital-acquired pressure injuries by 85% and saved $71,556 in non-reimbursable treatments costs in a single month.
Meta-analysis shows patient wearable sensor reduces incidence of hospital-acquired pressure injuries in critically ill patients
The LEAF System was shown to reduce the incidence of HAPIs by 70% in a meta-analysis of 19,136 patients.
Leveraging Novel Technology to Decrease Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injuries
This 30-day pilot study demonstrated a HAPI reduction of 85% after implementation of the LEAF Patient Monitoring System.
