Abstract

ECRI and the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) Patient Safety Organization (PSO) convened an interdisciplinary pressure-injury-prevention safety collaborative to strengthen pressure injury assessment, prevention, and treatment planning. Several teams met over 5 months in 2023 to share knowledge and performance improvement tools. This article discusses the safety collaborative, which provided a learning-system platform for participating teams to develop and share improvement plans under the protection of the PSO and to strengthen their pressure-injury-related action plans.
