[post_content] => The journey -
The aim of this project was to reduce hospital acquired pressure ulcers and falls, thereby having a significant impact on patient safety, patient experience and organisational productivity. It was undertaken as part of a Department of Health pilot, the Southampton University Hospitals NHS Trust chosen because of its previous success in rapid improvement projects.
Outcomes
Since the start of the project in 2010 there has been an overall reduction of 75 per cent in Grade 3 and 4 pressure ulcers. The trust is currently on target to achieve a 62 per cent reduction in Grade 2 pressure ulcers during the current year. There has also been a reduction of 30 per cent in high harm falls since the start of the project, although this measurement has proved more complex, and has been amended to produce valid data.
Productivity through length of stay since the project began equates to £900k for pressure ulcers and £300k for falls. Staff have also noted a reduction in call bells and greater patient satisfaction, and patients are experiencing less avoidable harm as a result of the project.

The journey – Enhancing Quality and Recovery is a clinically-led rapid quality improvement programme which triangulates clinically robust data to drive quality improvements in clinical interventions, patient reported outcomes and patient experience. The programme uses accurate benchmarking of clinical practice to identify variation and then supports clinicians to innovate and improve patient outcomes. It recognises […]
