  18. CLINICAL AUDIT OF PRESSURE SORES (ROYAL BROMPTON HOSPITAL 1991) QUALITY ASSURANCE DEVELOPMENT OF PRESSURE SORES CONCERN ABOUT THE PROVISION OF PRESSURE-RELEIVING DEVICES FOR THOSE IDENTIFIED AS HIGH RISK PATIENTS • HAS INCREASED HOSPITAL STAY • INCREASED DISCOMFORT • THE COST IMPLICATIONS WERE EXTREMELY HIGH – WITH A GRADE 4 PRESURE SORE ESTIMATING COST £25 000 TO TREAT

  19. CLINICAL AUDIT OF PRESSURE SORES QUALITY ASSURANCE MAIN FINDINGS 50% OF THE PATIENTS POPULATION WERE AT RISK OF DEVELOPING PRESSURE SORE A NUMBER OF MATTRESSES WERE IN POOR CONDITION THERE WAS LACK OF KNOWLEDGE AMONGST WARD NURSES ON AREAS RELATED TO PRESSURE-RELEVING EQUIPMENT LACK OF LIFTING AIDS ON THE WARDS – DISCOURAGING NURSES FROM LIFTING AND TURNING PATIENTS PAIN WAS LIKELY TO BE A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR AS PATIENTS WERE PREVENTED FROM MOVING IN BED

  20. An increased risk of costly litigation –health authorities were being sued anywhere between £100 000 and £1 0000 000 by patients who had developed sores during their hospital stay . • All of the above reasons including that 95% of pressure sores are preventable, led to a clinical audit group for pressure area care being formed. Representatives of the multi-professional teams comprised of nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists and dietician. • PILOT AUDIT (1992) 8 mths from the raising of the first concerns through to completion of the objectives and criteria. • - A small convenience sample of 4 patients and 4 nurses were audited from each ward.

  21. OUTCOME MEASURE • Each year, the standard and the point prevalence study have been reviewed, re audited and local and hospital – widw action plan devised to address new issues: • A matress replacement programme and the writing of a policy to maintain this. • Identifying a nuerse rto coordinate both in-house • Hold regular meetings with the link nurses to encourage information sharing • The initial audit 1992 identified the prevalence of pressure sores as being 19% of the patient population. Dropped dramaticcally over subsequent years, 1997 results are just 3% of the patient population, within the DoH guidelines (1993) stating a commitment to reduce the incidence of pressure sores in NHS by 5%.
