Activity Summary

Required reading for all learners: Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes

This model may aid in selecting high-risk patients for focused interventions to prevent formation of hospital-acquired pressure injuries.

Objectives

  • -Develop and validate a model to identify risk factors associated with hospital-acquired pressure injuries in adult critical care patients.
  • Develop a risk assessment scale that outperforms the Braden Scale score.
  • Perform sensitivity analysis of the model to analysis specific clinical variables in detail.
