Transcript
- Evidence supports the use of the Braden Scale and Skin Assessments to decrease the likelihood of patient's developing a HAPU
- More hospitals should require skin assessments upon admission to fully understand what condition patient's skin is in.
Can Hospital Acquired Pressure Ulcers be prevented by using early interventions such as the Braden Scale and Skin assessments upon admission?

Interventions/Issues
- Skin breakdown is a huge issue with patient’s within the hospital
- Patients that are immobile stay in the same place unless moved by someone else
- The Braden Scale gives hospital workers the ability to see how “at risk” patients are for skin breakdown
- Skin assessments determine if patient’s already have skin breakdown upon admission- therefore the hospital is not responsible for paying for it.
