AIM Statement

To reduce the incidence rate of monthly MSICU patient


HAPIs to 0 by January 2024 compared to the 12.7 incidence rate in September
2023 by implementing a mandatory New Graduate RN HAPI Prevention
Education Program for new MSICU nurses at NWMC.

AIMS to improve:
● Efficiency
● Effectiveness
● Safety

(Institute for Healthcare Improvement, n.d.)


HAPI Incidence Rates
Establishin Measured monthly
g Measures ● (# of HAPI occurences / # of patient admission to the unit)

Unit Data
● May 2023: 2 occurrences, incidence rate of 4.5
● June 2023: 2 occurrences, incidence rate of 4.5
● August 2023: 3 occurrences, incidence rate of 7
● September 2023: 5 occurrences, incidence rate of 12.7
● November 2023: 1 occurrence, incidence rate of 2.3
● January 2024: 1 occurrence, incidence rate of 2.2

National Data for HAPI Incidences


● Average incidences of pressure injuries in critical care patients in
U.S. hospitals
● Average yearly HAPI incidence rate: 5.85
Selecting Changes
Create a mandatory New
Grad RN HAPI Establish a specialized
1 Prevention 2 pressure ulcer nurse at
Education Program NWMC
● Spike following New Grad cohort
● Only 23% of new grad RNs
demonstrate entry-level competencies Incentivise nurse compliance
● New grad RN educational programs 3 to NWMC HAPI
enhance critical thinking & preventative measures
competency
● Pressure injury (PI) training programs
help improve knowledge, visual
discrimination ability, & clinical
judgement
Testing Changes: Plan
Objective
● Diminish the knowledge gap of New Grad RNs regarding HAPI prevention and increase their
compliance to NWMC HAPI prevention procedures to reduce the HAPI incidence rate to 0 in the
MSICU.

Questions Answered
● Does the introduction of a New Grad RN cohort correspond to the following 2 month spike in HAPI
incidences in the MSICU at NWMC?

Predictions
● Once the program begins and throughout its duration, HAPI incidences will decrease, and by the end
of the program, the incidence rate will be 0 in the MSICU at NWMC.
Testing Changes: Program Plan
Structure
● 1 mandatory 2 hour class each month for 6 months, each covering 1 competency
● 2 classes lead by Clinical Nurse Educator each month in reserved conference room
● Lectures, demonstrations, case studies & skill practice

Curriculum
● Current NWMC HAPI prevention procedures
● Content: (1) Etiologies & risk factors, (2) Risk & skin assessment, (3) Positioning &
supportive devices, (4) Nutritional interventions, (5) Impact of change of condition, (6)
Documentation & referrals

Evaluation
● Pre-test and pass/fail post-test
Testing Changes: Do & Study
Do
● Collect data on HAPI incidence rates each month before, during, & after program
● Collect data on documentation of risk & skin assessment, prevention interventions, and
referrals (if indicated) for every patient

Study
● Data re-evaluation intervals based on program for next cohort (July-Dec 2024)
● Analyze trends:
1) 2 months prior to program (May-June)
2) 2 months into program (Sept-Aug)
3) 2 months following program (Jan-Feb)
4) 1 year following end of program (Dec 2025)
Potential Barriers

New Grad RN Resistance to New Lack of Leadership Support


Educational Program (Education (Leadership)
and Training)
Interventions:
● Provide evidence-based data
Interventions:
● Allocate $600 for incentives that supports the need for the
and recognition awards for implementation of a HAPI
staff Prevention Education Program.
