Universal Pressure Ulcer Prevention Bundle with
Proactive WOC Nurse Support
North Memorial Medical CenterRobbinsdale, MN
This study was supported by Sage Products, LLC - WOCN® Society CCI Grant for Universal Pressure Ulcer Prevention Bundle with WOC Nurse Support.

Three Intensive Care Units:
Cardiovascular
Trauma-Neuro
Medical-surgical
Pressure ulcers in critical care is a significant issue
Rates range from 14% to 42% (Brown, Donaldson, Bolton, & Aydin, 2010; Cox, 2011; and Lahmann, Kottner, Dassen, & Tannen, 2012).Critical care units in 196 hospitals reported an average rate of 7.79%-13.89% for stage II or greater (Brown, et.al).
• High-risk patients (APACHE II scores greater than 15) admitted to an ICU have a documented incidence of 52 pressure ulcers per 1000 patient–days (Riley, Karakousis, Schrag, & Stawicki, 2007).
• Minnesota Department of Health reported 68% (n = 33) of stage III and IV pressure ulcers from October 6, 2011-January 6, 2012 in Minnesota occurred while patients were in critical care (MDH, 2012).
North Memorial Estimated an incidence of 9% in critical care units based on historical data from
quarterly prevalence and incidence studies.
Study Goal: Decrease Pressure Ulcer Rate from 9% to Less than 3%
Current Hospital Standard
Pressure Ulcer Prevention of the Critically Ill Patient Protocol
31 Interventions
WOC Nurse Consult based on Braden Score of 12 or less
• Dependence on Nursing to initiate WOC Nursing consult
• Cumbersome for staff to sort through lengthy protocol
• Not visible on unit

Current Standard
Universal Pressure Ulcer Prevention Bundle (UPUPB)
According to Gray-Siracusa and Schrier (2011), a bundle is a standard set of three to five interventions nurses implement collectively in a consistent manner to improve positive outcomes.

Skin emollients twice daily
Assessment head to toe
Floating of heels bilaterally
Early identification of pressure sources and need for specialty bed
Reposition patient and devices
Proactive WOC Nursing Support
• Twice weekly rounds• At the elbow education• Provide support for advanced prevention and
wound care interventions• Reinforce nursing use of bundle elements
Study phasesPre-intervention phase: • No change to standard of care, data collected to reflect
current standardIntervention phase:• introduction of SAFER bundle• initiate twice weekly WOC rounds• NDNQI pressure ulcer training modulePost-intervention phase:• Collect data related to bundle adherence and WOC rounds
Study objectives
1.Consistent use of SAFER bundle2.Focus on sources and duration of
pressure3.Initiate bundle interventions proactively
prior to WOC consult4.100% compliance with NDNQI learning
module
Universal Care Bundle
Interactive Bi-weekly WOC Nurse Rounding
Enhanced Knowledge and Skills
All Critical Care Patients Are At Risk
Decreased Incidence
Decreased Degree of Injury
Improved Adherence to Standards
.
• Pressure ulcer rate for the baseline study was 15%.
• Eighteen patients had 28 ulcers, with 6 patients having multiple ulcers
Preliminary Findings for the Pre-intervention
Phase
• Introduction of bundle components• Introduction of twice weekly WOC
nursing rounds• NDNQI learning module
The Intervention phase
WOC rounding focus
• 204 rounds over 6 month period• Devices targeted due to pre-intervention data• Collaboration• Culture change and rapport building• Assist to remove barriers to assessment/adherence • Prevention, prevention, prevention!!!!!!
The post-intervention phase
3 patients developed pressures = 2.3% incidence
• Stage I sacral• Stage I left leg (device related)• Stage II buttocks
Adherence to safer skin bundle
Composite adherence scores were not significantly different
Statistically significant changes occurred in elevation of heels and repositioning
Assessment, use of emollients, and identification of pressure were not significantly different
• Combination of the universal pressure ulcer prevention bundle and proactive WOC nursing rounds was effective in decreasing pressure ulcers.
• Presence of the WOC nurse on the unit was a core implementation component.
• Lack of change in the composite bundle adherence scores may indicate a bundle will not decrease pressure ulcers without the ongoing WOC nurse presence.
