Questions & answers
How does scanning help on med-surg units?
“Abnormal SEM values can be detected as early as Day 0 (the day of surgery). Scanning pre- and post-operatively ensures surgery-related injuries are identified immediately.”
What if a patient is mobile (“walkie-talkie”) but has an elevated SEM Delta™ (∆)?
“Ambulatory patients can still experience high-pressure loading from prolonged sitting or footwear. An elevated SEM Delta™ (∆) reflects the local tissue response regardless of mobility level.”
Does the scanner work for patients with generalized edema?
“Yes, while generalized edema increases systemic fluid levels, the SEM Delta™ (∆) accounts for this baseline by measuring the variance between SEM measurements in healthy and compromised tissue.”
Is there direct reimbursement for the scanner itself?
“While there is currently no direct Part B reimbursement for the Provizio SEM scanner hardware, the ICD-10-PCS code (XX2KXP9) allows for formal documentation that supports overall facility reimbursement accuracy.”
What is the ROI on SEM scanning?
“Every $1 spent on SEM scanning technology returns an average of $7.45 to the facility through avoided treatment costs and reduced length of stay.8 We can run a customized ROI analysis on your specific system or sites at your convenience, and you can see more detail on how we calculate the ROI here.”
How does this impact institutional risk reduction?
“Delivering a 5-day (median) early warning window,1 our SEM scanning platform can reduce risk three-fold,9 materially lowering the likelihood of high-stage, litigious injuries.”
Does SEM scanning replace the Braden Scale?
“No, the Provizio SEM Scanner works as an objective adjunct to help detect early-stage damage and direct targeted interventions before signs are visible.”
Is the goal of zero harm realistic?
“Yes, published outcomes from 34 different facilities prove that preventable hospital-acquired pressure injuries can be eliminated when objective SEM scanning detection is utilized.6”
How does this impact nursing accountability?
“True to our safety systems approach, our pressure injury prevention system removes the shame-and-blame culture associated with hospital-acquired pressure injuries. We recognize and address subjective protocol limitations, delivering early-detection technology, seamless data integration, and our holistic Path to Zero™ program that gives your nursing team the support and resources they need.”
