St. Vincent Intensive Care Quality Improvement Committee
St. Vincent Hospital and Health Care Center Indianapolis, IN

Their solution was an implementation of new protocols that included the WAFFLE Mattress Overlay. Over six months, skin breakdown incidence decreased by two-thirds and a dramatic savings in dollars to the facility was realized.
