Love the skin you're in! Pressure injury management

Abstract

The quality improvement (QI) initiative "One Simple Change" (OSC) represents the application of knowledge and skills related to skin and wound management by unit-based skin teams (ST) to optimize patient outcomes. Two successfully implemented OSC initiatives, addressing medical device-related pressure injuries (MDRPIs), improve care for our institute's most vulnerable patients.
