2 Inconsistent skin care increases the risk of complications and cost inefficiencies 2,3 Inconsistent Skin Care Incontinence- Associated Dermatitis (IAD) $$ $$$ Hospital-Acquired Pressure Ulcer (HAPU) $$$$ Inconsistent skin care has been shown to lead to perineal skin problems such as Incontinence-Associated Dermatitis (IAD). 1-3 IAD is an elevated risk factor for Hospital-Acquired Pressure Ulcers (HAPU). 4 Hospital-Acquired Pressure Ulcers are considered Medicare never-events and are no longer reimbursed. 5 Average cost to treat is $43, Supply chain costs increase with a lack of formulary standardization. 1,2,7 The Coloplast Links Partnership promotes consistent skin care and supply chain cost containment The Links program helps prevent perineal skin problems and their associated complications while helping to reduce supply chain costs: Structured Skin Care Regimen to enable consistent delivery of care 8,9 Formulary Standardization to support consistent care and reduce supply chain costs 1,2,7 Implementation and Education Toolkit to ensure compliance throughout the facility

5 Reduce Pressure Ulcers Up to 89% 11 The Coloplast Links Partnership enables you to increase care and reduce costs by shifting the skin care paradigm from complex and costly to simple and cost effective while helping to reduce pressure ulcers. The Power of a Structured Skin Care Regimen 11 The Structured Skin Care Regimen utilized in the Links Partnership has been shown to dramatically improve patient outcomes. 11 Phase 1 and Phase 2 interventions reduced the incidence of hospital-acquired pressure ulcers (71% and 89%, respectively) which can cost up to $50, Phase 1: Using the Coloplast simplified formulary, implementing protocols, product in-servicing and training. Phase 2: Implementing The Braden Scale and corresponding protocols, modifying assessment forms, adding low air mattresses and expanding on education and training. % of patients with nosocomial pressure ulcers % Baseline 71% 89% 5.2% 2.0% Phase 1 Phase 2 Improve Care, Reduce Costs A structured skin care regimen, such as the Links Program s featuring a standardized 5-SKU formulary, has been shown to increase clinical compliance and patient outcomes and reduce supply chain costs. 1,2,7,11 Care Improved clinical compliance Improved patient outcomes Reduced product waste Reduced pharmacy costs Reduced cost of complications Costs
