ARMC to Receive Quality Leader Award

Arrowhead Regional Medical Center (ARMC) will be recognized with a 2014 Quality Leader Award from the California Association of Public Hospitals and Health Systems (CAPH) on Dec. 4 at the association’s annual conference in San Diego. The CAPH Quality Leaders Awards recognize and showcase system improvements achieved by California’s public health care systems. ARMC earned an award for its entry, “Hospital Acquired Pressure Ulcer (HAPU) – Adventures in Prevention.” “It is an honor to receive this award,” said ARMC Chief Nursing Officer, Michelle Sayre. “Our HAPU prevention program has helped us reduce our HAPU rate from 5.2 percent in 2011 to 1.6 percent in 2014.” Without aggressive prevention, HAPU, more commonly known as bedsores, can occur easily in a hospital environment and lead to suffering, infection, and a host of other problems. ARMC’s HAPU prevention program draws experts from multiple disciplines including nursing, medical staff, physical therapy, nutrition services, respiratory therapy and education. The “HAPU – Adventures in Prevention” project included the development of an educational video to help train staff and to demonstrate best practices. The video uses a game scenario showing HAPU prevention protocols as a patient is taken through the system. To view the video go to: https://vimeo.com/102573519.
