Four Eyes Method: A Data-Driven Approach to Pressure Injury Prevention
About this episode
Sandra Fasing discusses her research on the Four Eyes Method for preventing pressure injuries in hospital settings.
On this episode of WOCTalk, we sit down with Sandra Fasing, author of the WOCNext® 2025 poster, “Utilizing Four Eyes Methodology to Identify a Risk Window for Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injuries (HAPI),” to discuss her research trial investigating a specific trend of pressure injuries spiking on day five of patient stays. Sandra explains how she expanded the dual-nurse assessment to occur every four days, aiming to identify wounds during this critical risk window rather than relying solely on admission checks.
