Testimonials
“Since we started using the positioning cushions and following the evidenced based focused Quality Improvement program designed by Jewell, we went from 13 reportable HAPI’s in 2019 to only one reportable HAPI since May 2023. That’s almost 3 years and counting.”
“We’ve had a lot of struggles with buy-in with the other types of wedges we’ve used in the past. They were uncomfortable for the patients, so we got a lot of refusals from patients, and, quite frankly, from the nurses also. We did the math, and the Jewell cushions are ALOT less expensive than disposables, so we had nothing to lose by giving them a try. With the Jewell cushions, we’ve had a lot more success getting nurses to use it, and patients like it too. So our HAPI rates went way down right away.”
“We were introduced to the Backbone by our bed manufacturer Rep. At the time we were spending about 800k a year on wedge and air flow positioner sets. But we were still having trouble with HAPI incidences. Turns out the nurses were opening the sets and just throwing away the wedges because either they didn’t need them or didn’t like them. When we started using the Backbone, we saved over 80% on our positioner expense AND we were able to lower our HAPI rates”
“The wedges work great for my patients and I find that they are more secure than pillows and keep my patients at 30-degree angle much better than pillows. I just wish we had more of these”
“I am grateful that this position cushion was made available for my family member. The Jewell’s Backbone was instrumental in assisting healing of a shearing pressure ulcer of my family member. As as a midlevel Healthcare provider, I strongly support its usage.”
“I’ve been giving out these wedges out like they’re candy. The nurses are really liking them and it’s been really helpful for our patient population. We even had an incident where nurses were using a triangular foam wedge for a patient and his repositioning actually was causing some breakdown on his skin. Thank goodness we had the Rescue wedge…very fitting name – it’s doing its job! So far, no issues with the wedges we’ve already provided. A million thanks again to you and your amazing wedges.”
