Prioritizing health care solutions for pressure ulcers using the quality function deployment process.
Reducing the incidence and morbidity of pressure ulcers remains a leading national priority in patient safety. A detailed and practical application of quality function deployment is presented, in this paper, that demonstrates the value of applying engineering practices for prioritizing solutions for pressures ulcers specifically and can easily be adapted to other conditions.

A framework of quality improvement interventions to implement evidence-based practices for pressure ulcer prevention.
The purpose of this paper is to enhance the learner’s competence with knowledge about a framework of quality improvement (QI) interventions to implement evidence-based practices for pressure ulcer (PrU) prevention. The best-practice framework offers a reference point to initiating a bundle of QI interventions in support of evidence-based practices. Hospitals and clinicians tasked with quality improvement efforts can use this framework to problem-solve PrU prevention and other critical issues.
