The objective is to enhance patient care with community acquired pressure injuries and hospital acquired pressure injuries. The new technology would be a Long-Wave Infrared Thermography (LWIT) which takes a thermal gradient picture of patients. The specific model to be leased/purchased annually is Scout Unlimited, software, EMR integration services and training by Wound Vision. A total number of 4 devices will be leased or purchased. The agreement will provide continuous access to current hardware, software enhancements, technical support, maintenance, guaranteed device replacement, and integration capabilities with the Federal Electronic Health Record (EHR). The procurement will consist of: Base Year + 4: four (4) WoundScout Unlimited devices with subscription and maintenance agreement. 2.0 Background: The Skin and Wound Department has been trying to reduce pressure injuries within the facility. If the patient was admitted with an underlying deep tissue pressure injury (DTPI), this device should demonstrate thermal temperature gradient differences which cannot be visualized during a standard nursing skin assessment. Earlier interventions can be placed according to the result of the LWIT. The LWIT can determine if the area of injury was present upon admission to the hospital, making these injuries excluded from the health acquired pressure injury rates of the hospital. When DTPIs evolve and declare into full thickness open wounds they are considered reportable pressure injuries. This type of injury could then be categorized as a community acquired pressure injury. Therefore, increasing patient quality of care and reducing hospital acquired pressure injuries.
