Hospital‑acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs), formerly known as pressure ulcers or bedsores, are not only painful and debilitating but also when they occur under inpatient care, powerful indicators of systemic failure. These injuries, resulting from unrelieved pressure on vulnerable skin, can progress rapidly from superficial reddening to deep, sometimes fatal wounds. EvaluCare's medical care review can identify if practice contributed to the injury to help patients reach dire
