Abstract

This study highlights the significant health and economic impacts of PIs in the inpatient area of a socio-health center. The findings emphasize the necessity of effective prevention strategies to mitigate the occurrence of PIs and their associated costs. By understanding the financial burden of PIs, healthcare providers and policymakers can make informed decisions to improve resource allocation, enhance patient care, and reduce financial strain on the healthcare system.
