Providing Care Beyond Hospitals

“Each year, more than 2.5 million people in the United States develop pressure ulcers.”

“In 2013, a United States Medicare study reported the incidence of hospital-acquired pressure ulcers to be 4.5% in hospitalized patients, with an estimated 11 billion dollars for the cost of pressure ulcer care.”

"In 2008, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced that they will not pay for additional costs incurred for hospital-acquired pressure ulcers.”

“Although pressure ulcers can develop over the course of 24 hours, they may not present until a week later."

"Cardiac surgery patients are one of the most at-risk patient populations in the incidence of hospital acquired pressure ulcers.”

“Patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU) or immobilized after major surgery are at a higher risk."

“The costs of stage III or IV pressure ulcer may be between $5,000 and $50,000 (and must be absorbed by the hospital itself)”

"Pressure ulcers are the third most expensive disorder after cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Patients undergoing prolonged surgery of more than four hours are at a higher risk of developing pressure ulcer(s) as they tend to stay immobile for a much longer period during the perioperative period.”

“Surgical times vary, but procedures lasting longer than 2.5 to 3.0 hours are significantly more likely to cause skin and underlying tissue damage”
