Construction and application of intelligent management system for pressure injury within the hospital
Objective To build an intelligent management system for pressure injuries(PI)within the hospital and explore its practical application effects in clinical PI management.Methods The intelligent management system for pressure injuries,which was consisted of modules such as risk assessment and early warning,event management,and other modules,was fully implemented at a tertiary grade-A hospital in Zhejiang province in September 2021.The timeliness rate of PI risk assessment,the implementation rate of preventive measures,the consultation rate for stage 3 and above,the timeliness rate of nursing consultations,as well as the incidence and improvement rate of hospital-acquired pressure injuries(HAPI)were compared before and after the application of this system for a period of 6 months.Results The timeliness rate of PI risk assessment,the implementation rate of preventive measures,the con-sultation rate for stage 3 and above,the timeliness rate of consultations,and the improvement rate of HAPI could be significantly improved by the system(P<0.01).Conclusion The intelligent management system for PI within the hospital can assist nursing staff in conducting more timely and accurate PI risk management,provide objective data support for nursing decision-making,standardize the clinical management of PI,and effectively improve the quality of nursing services.
