Do you have a facility acquired pressure injury or more than one? Did you complete a root cause analysis, PNC, and review it in your QAPI meeting? These are three important things that must be completed for process improvement, to ensure quality care is provided and because a surveyor will ask for them! This session will teach you how to complete a thorough root cause, analysis, PNC, and what the QAPI process is and the importance of it is. All in an effort to reduce the development of facility acquired pressure injuries!

Learner Objectives

1. Identify the key components of Root Cause Analysis (RCA), Plan of Correction (PNC), and the QAPI process related to facility-acquired pressure injuries.
2. Explain the steps required to complete a Root Cause Analysis following the development or worsening of a facility-acquired wound.
3. Apply the process for developing a Plan of Correction (PNC) based on findings identified through Root Cause Analysis.
4. Analyze how Root Cause Analysis and PNC findings integrate into the QAPI process to support quality improvement and regulatory compliance.
5. Evaluate opportunities for process improvement within their facility to reduce the occurrence of facility-acquired pressure injuries.

Nurse Learner Outcome: At the conclusion of this session, 80% of participants will self-report an increase in knowledge related to conducting root cause analyses, developing plans of correction, and incorporating findings into the QAPI process to improve pressure injury prevention and wound care outcomes, as measured by the post-session evaluation.
