Effect of a computerized decision support system on the treatment approach of stage III or IV pressure injury in patients with spinal cord injury: a feasibility study.

Background: Stage III and IV pressure injuries (PIs) in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) require complex interdisciplinary and interprofessional treatment approaches that are difficult to implement. Practical aspects, such as information exchange and coordination, remain challenging. We investigated whether a computerized decision support system (CDSS) could increase treatment adherence and improve clinical outcomes and interprofessional collaboration.

Treatment and cost of pressure injury stage III or IV in four patients with spinal cord injury: the Basel Decubitus Concept.

Study Design: Retrospective chart analyses as part of a quality improvement project.

Objectives: To demonstrate treatment of pressure injury (PI) in patients with spinal cord injuries (SCI) and analyse costs using the "modified Basel Decubitus Concept".

Setting: Inpatient setting of a specialised acute care and rehabilitation clinic for SCI.
