Pressure Injury Prevention in Adult Critically Ill Patients: A Best Practice Implementation Project.

Implementation science is the process of integrating an intervention into practice within an organization or health system and is a useful strategy to improve practice, affect patient outcomes, and promote practice sustainability. In this series, AJN and the journal JBI Evidence Implementation have partnered to deliver examples of how health care facilities from around the world have worked to solve common patient care problems. Through this partnership, we strive to create awareness and share knowledge and experiences by publishing summaries of studies that have appeared in JBI Evidence Implementation. These summaries are designed to provide nursing teams with an overview of the barriers faced and the strategies and resources needed to improve practice and drive change at the unit level. Our goal is to ensure that AJN readers have access to important evidence-based information designed to influence patient outcomes and nursing practice.-Carl A. Kirton, DNP, MBA, RN, ANP, FAAN.
