Pittman and Beeson discuss their comparative study of characteristics and risk factors of avoidable and unavoidable hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) and acute skin failure (ASF). They also discuss the Pressure Ulcer/Injury Prevention Inventory (PUPI) tool that was developed and tested to help identify unavoidable pressure injuries.
