This year, our new graduate nurses, Joe Solar, MSN, RN, and Sara Otaru, BSN, RN, demonstrated their commitment to improving patient outcomes by completing the first three steps of the EBP process. They investigated whether wearable technology, such as the LEAF System™, could effectively reduce hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPI).
Through a thorough literature review and critical appraisal of available evidence, the team concluded that there is currently insufficient evidence to support the implementation of these devices. However, their work has laid the foundation for future exploration, sparking the possibility of advancing this inquiry into a formal research project.
