The Financial Cost
"In the base case scenario, this medium-sized hospital would experience 644 HAPIs (1) and 146 readmissions within 30 days due to HAPIs each year, with estimated costs totaling $10.4 million annually."

Avoiding the Costs
Incredibly well-engineered (15-years in development) mattresses designed for injured veterans, by veterans, made of parachute cloth. The air immersion technology self-inflates, then suspends the body in air.
Eliminating "hotspots" removes a primary root cause of pressure injuries. The design also helps to move patients back up to the head of the bed after it is elevated and then lowered again.
Zero Hot Spots. (Average 10 - 13 PSI)
