Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and Burns and Allen Research Institute, 8700 Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles, CA; Collaborative Alliance for Nursing Outcomes, San Ramon, CA.
Objective: This study modeled the predictive power of unit/patient characteristics, nurse workload, nurse expertise, and hospital-acquired pressure ulcer (HAPU) preventive clinical processes of care on unit-level prevalence of HAPUs.
Data Sources: Seven hundred and eighty-nine medical-surgical units (215 hospitals) in 2009.
Study Design: Using unit-level data, HAPUs were modeled with Poisson regression with zero-inflation (due to low prevalence of HAPUs) with significant covariates as predictors.
