‌International Pressure Ulcer/Injury Prevalence (IPUP/IPIP) Survey™

‌International Pressure Ulcer/Injury Prevalence (IPUP/IPIP) Survey™

Helping your facility measure and benchmark Pressure Ulcer/Injury outcomes

Hospital quality drivers and reimbursement entities have placed a significant emphasis on decreasing pressure injuries as part of a general drive to improve patient safety and reduce avoidable injuries.

In 1989, Hillrom introduced the International Pressure Ulcer/Injury Prevalence (IPUP/IPIP) survey to assess the number and severity of wounds occurring in healthcare facilities.

Today, IPUP/IPIP is one of the largest global running pressure ulcer/injury databases, with over 1,300 facilities participating annually and surveying more than 100,000 patients each year. Acute care, long term care, long term acute care, and rehabilitation organizations around the world volunteer to participate in the data collection process.
