Hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) impacting your patients and your bottom-line?

Each year in the United States, it is estimated that HAPIs have an impact on over 2.5 million patients and result in more than 60,000 deaths. Financially, the cost of a HAPI is estimated between $10,708 to $129,248 per patient. And because the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) do not reimburse hospitals for costs associated with HAPIs, the stakes are even higher. Additionally, the average settlement of a pressure ulcer lawsuit is $250,000, with some awards topping $312 million. 

Use the calculator below to estimate the current burden of HAPIs on your hospital as well as the clinical and financial impact that can be achieved by reducing HAPIs.
