Abstract

Medical device-related pressure injuries (MDRPIs) occur in up to 34% of patients, with oral pressure injuries affecting as many as 45% of ICU patients. The modified Reaper Oral Mucosa Pressure Injury Scale (m-ROMPIS) offers a standardized approach to improve early detection and management...

The successful pilot led to the development of a Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) and plans for broader adoption of the m-ROMPIS tool through stakeholder engagement, leadership collaboration, and workflow optimization.
