What You’ll Learn
Getting a unit to zero hospital-acquired pressure injuries for a month is achievable for plenty of teams. Keeping it there, across different shifts, patient populations, and staff turnover, is the harder problem, and it’s the one most prevention programs never actually solve. That gap between a good month and a reliable system is where Bruin Biometrics’ latest webinar, What It Takes to Get to Zero: Real-World Lessons from Successful SEM-Guided Implementations, picks up.
Presented by Tarrika Everett, MPH, RN, and Ore Ezeigbo, MSN, RN, CWCN, the session moves past the question of whether zero is possible and into what it actually takes to make it repeatable. Rather than a single success story, the webinar walks through what happened inside three very different hospitals that put sub-epidermal moisture-guided prevention into daily bedside practice: a multi-ICU trauma center still building compliance in its early weeks, a busy community hospital ICU learning what a reliable clinical response looks like patient by patient, and a large academic medical center working through exactly where its process still broke down.
What you’ll take away isn’t a list of statistics to memorize. It’s a clearer picture of what actually separates the facilities that reach zero from the ones that don’t. The presenters make the case that it has less to do with effort, since every unit in these cases was already working hard, and more to do with closing the loop between detecting tissue stress early, responding to it consistently, and coming back to confirm the response worked. They also show what happens when that loop breaks, and how each remaining injury becomes a signal for where the system needs attention rather than a reason to abandon the approach.
The session also translates that clinical discipline into terms your leadership team will want to hear, connecting bedside practice to the kind of operational and financial outcomes that make the case for sustained investment. And the live Q&A digs into the questions clinical teams actually ask before adopting a new prevention pathway: how to staff scanners across a unit, how to document a finding before it’s visible, and how to know the technology itself is driving the improvement rather than something else happening at the same time.
If your team has reduced pressure injuries without reaching zero, or reached it once and struggled to explain why it didn’t hold, this is worth 35 minutes of your time.
