Mölnlycke Health Care presents…”Real-World Evidence: Proven Results in Pressure Injury Prevention”

Dr. William Padula will discusses the results of a recent study, conducted over 1.03 million patient admissions to 38 Academic Medical Centers and published in JWOCN, “Effectiveness and Value of Prophylactic 5-Layer Foam Sacral Dressings to Prevent Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injuries in Acute Care Hospitals: An Observational Cohort Study.”

The presenter will explain why the results of his study strongly suggest that a hospital could expect significant clinical and financial improvement when using a sacral dressing for pressure ulcer prevention.1 The study shows a clear relationship between implementing a prophylactic sacral dressing and improved high-risk patient safety and economic outcomes.
