This may be evidenced by increased pain, prolonged treatments, an interruption to activities of daily living, depression and isolation, a longer hospital stay, unnecessary readmission, and death. In addition to the personal toll on patients, hospitals are faced with longer lengths of stay and higher medical and legal costs. The purpose of this program evaluation is to improve and standardize regional PH&S best practice for pressure ulcer prevention in the acute care setting. The clinical inquiry question is: What pressure ulcer program interventions need to be understood, modified and spread to system-wide adoption to achieve and consistently maintain the 50th percentile in their quarterly prevalence studies? 000000687 540__ $$fCC BY 000000687 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000687 650__ $$aSkin Ulcer$$026059 000000687 650__ $$aSoft Tissue Injuries$$030167 000000687 650__ $$aNursing$$023082 000000687 650__ $$aAdvanced Practice Nursing$$038882 000000687 650__ $$aNurse Anesthetists$$023072 000000687 650__ $$aPressure Ulcer$$017428 000000687 650__ $$aClinical Nursing Research$$028382 000000687 650__ $$aResearch$$025336 000000687 650__ $$aPsychosocial Functioning$$013371 000000687 650__ $$aIncidence$$028803 000000687 650__ $$aPrevalence$$028804 000000687 650__ $$aActivities of Daily Living$$014200 000000687 650__ $$aAged$$014351 000000687 6531_ $$aclinical inquiry report 000000687 6531_ $$anurse practioners 000000687 6531_ $$amidwives 000000687 6531_ $$acase reports 000000687 6531_ $$abedsores 000000687 6531_ $$aEvidence-Based Nursing$$038239 000000687 6531_ $$aprevention and control 000000687 691__ $$aSchool of Nursing$$041370 000000687 7001_ $$aHays, Victoria J.$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000687 8564_ $$93a2cab4d-3e85-4305-8802-c4596bfc0589$$s2252751$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/687/files/688_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$29380396f52b755bf649066367cb9abd4$$32 000000687 905__ $$a/rest/prod/zk/51/vg/81/zk51vg816 000000687 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:687$$pstudent-work 000000687 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
