Priority Strategies for PIP to address current barriers in hospitals are outlined in the Layer Up for HAPI Protection, part of the Winter is Coming Guide.
Workforce shortages have made it difficult to focus on PIP tasks. Think beyond the bedside nurses to other hospital staff that can assist with these tasks.

Medical Device Related Skin Injuries (MDPRI) are on the rise with increased use of oxygen delivery devices. See the NPIAP MDPRI Posters for pictures and best practices. Use protective dressing BEFORE breakdown occurs!
Can activating a patient and their family member to be a skin guardian help? Test the new Patient PIP Informational that was developed in partnership with the Cynosure HQIC Patient Family Advisors. Page one can be printed to access the QR code for the remaining 3 pages. Narrate your care as you inspect skin, engage family members in watching for redness and ask for their help with skin hygiene, pressure relief and fluids and nutritional intake.
