Yet, these surfaces are often an underestimated source of risk within facilities. A Cambridge University Press study of beds and mattresses in four U.S. hospitals uncovered that support surface damage is more widespread than previously recognized. Some facilities reported damage rates exceeding 70%. This raises concerns about patient safety as hospitals continue using outdated, compromised surfaces.Neglecting support surfaces can lead to patient complications, including healthcare-associated infections (HAIs)
