Individual Trust proportions range from 3.90% (Trust 1) to 21.2% (Trust 13). Excluding MASDs, the total number of PUs observed was 737 (some patients had more than 1 PU). Key elements of the aSSKINg bundle were measured 73.2% had risk assessment completed within 6 hours, 82.2% had a care plan in place but only 49.8% had a planned repositioning regimen in place. A variety of risk assessment tools were in use with Waterlow being the most common (59.4%), Braden the 2nd (22%) and PURPOSE T the 3rd most popular (15.7%).
