Cost Impact

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.

This 2019 study estimated that each hospital-acquired pressure injury adds about $10,708 per patient on average (≈ $14,500 today), calculated by distributing the total national HAPI cost burden across all patients who develop a HAPI, contributing to $26.8 billion annually (≈ $36.5 billion today).
