SOLVED1066
A root cause analysis is a great tool that can be used to identify the root cause of pressure ulcer injuries. By applying the root cause analysis framework to the problem at a facility with pressure ulcer injuries, future issues can be prevented. Steps to apply this framework include assembling a team of professionals to define the problem of the pressure ulcer injuries by identifying the precise symptoms that lead to a pressure ulcer, such as, red patches of skin, patches that do not blanch when pressed, areas of skin that are hard or warm, and note any itchiness or discomfort to the affected area. Gather data from staff and medical personnel via documents and interviews, identify any noted causing factors which will allow the team to determine the root cause. Once the cause is determined, solutions and changes should be implemented. Preventative measures should be implemented for high-risk patients. The patients that are identified should be provided proper nutrition, frequent position changes, specialized beds that reduce pressure, and barrier creams to reduce friction and redness. paraphrase
