Brenda,
I appreciate and agree with you assessment of Hospital-acquired pressure ulcers. As you identified, the surveillance and prevention of HAPUs can potentially be a cost saving for all organizations and such strategies need to be considered to support quality outcomes. This is not an area that I consider myself an expert in, but I certainly rely on conscientious nurses like yourself in managing this issue and you sound like you are a "go-getter" and you are passionate about what you do. In your data collection, you mentioned "revenue lost" which is very important in supporting your project. It has been my experience with the Heart Failure Telemonitoring program, the return on investment (ROI) is a key component in any type of project;
