A powerful tool to monitor patient mobility

Turning works – National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel (NPIAP) guidelines confirm that frequent patient repositioning is a crucial part of prevention,1 but competing priorities in a busy environment make it challenging to adhere to turning protocols.

Outdated systems, like paper turn clocks, make it difficult to measure if a turn has been effectively done.

  • Facilities face additional costs of up to $21,767 for each hospital-acquired pressure injury2
  • As a contributing factor, high-risk patients were found to be turned on-time only 47% of the time3
  • Hospital-acquired pressure injury rates have risen by 6% when using traditional turn reminders, while other hospital-acquired conditions have declined4

The LEAF System monitors patient movement and positions in bed, upright or walking to help adherence to turning schedules.*
