HealthcarePatient Care & Compliance4HighNurse$ implied
A hospital unit is struggling to ensure patients are turned regularly to prevent hospital-acquired pressure injuries, with poor coordination and finger-pointing among staff, and is considering a 'turn buddies' team approach but lacks a systematic way to track and manage turns.
Current manual or ad-hoc assignment and tracking of patient turns leads to missed turns, increased workload, and lack of accountability; a scheduled team approach may help but there is no software to coordinate, remind, and document turn compliance.
