´óÏóÊÓƵdeveloped the Pressure Injury Prevention in Hospitals Training Program to support the training of hospital staff on how to implement AHRQ’s Preventing Pressure Ulcers in Hospitals Toolkit. The content of the Training Program and supporting materials help hospitals become familiar with each of the components of the Toolkit and learn how to overcome the challenges associated with developing, implementing, and sustaining a pressure injury prevention program.

This content was developed from an ´óÏóÊÓƵproject that ran from 2014 to 2017. It is based on AHRQ’s Pressure Ulcer Prevention Toolkit and the experiences of 11 hospitals that participated in a 2-year pilot project of the Training Program. Hospitals participating in this pilot implementation of the Training Program and Toolkit reduced their hospital acquired Stage 2+ pressure injury rates and sustained these reductions for a year (the period of time over which hospitals were followed as part of this project).

The Training Program consists of a five-module, in-person training curriculum and a series of companion Webinars on specific topics related to pressure injury prevention. An Implementation Guide provides additional suggestions for how to use the Training Program and the Toolkit.

Implementation Guide

The Implementation Guide (MS Word, 997 KB) offers strategies and resources to assist hospital team leaders, practice facilitators, and quality improvement specialists interested in using AHRQ’s Pressure Injury Prevention in Hospitals Training Program and the associated Pressure Ulcer Prevention Toolkit to guide systematic quality improvement efforts related to hospital acquired pressure injury prevention. It includes:

• A readiness assessment tool to help hospitals determine if they are ready to implement the change activities outlined in the Training Program and Toolkit.
• A Roadmap for how to roll out the Training Program modules and companion Webinars in a systematic quality improvement effort focused on reducing hospital acquired pressure injuries.
• A collection of additional resources that can be used to support implementation of the Training Program.
• Examples of how hospitals have addressed common challenges encountered when doing quality improvement activities.

Curriculum Content

The training sessions are organized into five modules. Hospital implementation teams should access the modules in sequential order, view the recommended Webinars and supplemental resources, and complete the processes and tools outlined in the companion Implementation Guide.
