Pressure Injury (HAPI)Burden & PreventionCalculator (Med Surg)
Estimate the unit's current hospital-acquired pressure injury burden. Burden = HAPI cases × cost per HAPI.
Estimated annual HAPI burden
Cost per Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injury (HAPI)
A US hospital and a Canadian hospital should not use the same cost, and cost varies with stage. Pick the reference that matches this account, or enter a hospital-specific figure.
Average incremental cost per HAPI (all stages)
National context only (not a per-case input): US HAPI cost could exceed $26.8 billion a year (2016 dollars), about 59% of it from stage 3 and 4 injuries [5].
