Editor-in-Chief Shawn Kennedy speaks with Rohini Paul, nursing superintendent in the Department of Cardiology at Narayana Hrudayalaya Cardiac Hospital (NHCH) in Bangalore, India (now known as the Narayana Institute of Cardiac Sciences)
Rohini Paul is the primary author of this month’s CE, “Sustaining Pressure Ulcer Best Practices in a High-Volume Cardiac care Environment.” As one of the world’s largest and busiest cardiac hospitals, NHCH experienced a sharp increase in surgical procedures in 2009 as well as a rise in hospital acquired pressure ulcers. As a result, staff embarked on an ambitious plan to reduce these occurrences, and were surprisingly successful.
