THE HIGH COST OF PRESSURE INJURIES

DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THEY'RE COSTING YOUR FACILITY?

Pressure ulcers costs hospitals up to $26.8 billion per year in the U.S.

Find out how improved perioperative documentation can lower the occurrences of pressure injuries in your OR. But first, calculate how much they’re costing your facility.

HOW IMPROVED PERIOPERATIVE DOCUMENTATION CREATES BETTER OUTCOMES

Pressure injuries are not the only surgical complications affecting your OR’s bottom line. Every patient experiencing a surgical procedure should be assessed for risk factors that lead to OR complications.

AORN Syntegrity’s perioperative-specific content is built by clinicians and will help create better outcomes and lower costs by:

•

Recommending health record fields to enhance patient risk identification and interventions implemented

•

Mapping health record fields to the PNDS to link documentation to evidence-based nursing interventions

•

Effectively documenting and communicating risks during handoffs will enforce patient safety

•

Providing the data to make better patient care decision and improve workflows
