Identify the_ risk management topic you have chosen to address (Part of your the_sis is a stat that needs a citation. Please rewrite.) (Be sure to include a the_sis in the_ next work, solid intro & conclusion for_ any presentation.) 1. 2019 increased number of HAPI’s. In particular those missed on admission & the_ following 48-hours. 2. The_re is a current policy & procedure (P&P), Pressure Ulcer Prevention & Treatment, that covers the_ necessity of a thorough skin assessment at admission to establish baseline which should be done by two registered nurses (RN’s). 3. The_sis: in spite of a PI prevention & treatment policy & procedure HAPI’s have increased by 100% in 2019 from 2018, 20% of which are PI being missed on admission skin assessments & subsequent 48 hours making the_ condition hospital acquired, costing the_ hospital money, putting the_ patient in danger, & the_ hospital at risk for_ lawsuits. 2. Why it is important within your health care sector. 1. The_ statistics: number of HAPI’s dropped from 31 to 15 (LeMieux, 2017). 2019 had a total of 25. 5 of the_ 25 were due to poor admission skin assessments that missed a community acquired (already present) pressure injury (PI). It was the_n missed multiple shifts, for_ 48 hours from admission, which the_n classifies it as hospital acquired. 2. Patient: PI not cared for_ leads to increased area damage, pain, possible infection, sepsis, & even death. 3. Hospital: ethical & legal duty to do no harm.
