Henry Ford Health System utilized real-time pressure mapping with visual feedback to enhance pressure ulcer prevention, confirming effective repositioning for patients and gaining acceptance from caregivers and patients. The technology showed immediate benefits in identifying and adjusting patient positions to prevent ulcer development.
At St. Anthony’s Medical Center, Continuous Bedside Pressure Mapping enabled use of lower-cost support surfaces, reducing reliance on specialty rentals and delivering net savings of $19 per patient per day after including the cost of the visualization system itself.
Real-time pressure visualization significantly reduced peak interface pressures and increased both patient comfort and the number of pressure-reducing interventions performed by nurses. Staff found the system easy to use and viewed it as a valuable tool for improving repositioning technique.
