## The invisible cost of pressure injuries

In the hospital setting, pressure injuries (PIs) are one of the greatest challenges, both for patient safety and for the institution's budget. Treating an advanced-stage injury can cost thousands of reais (R$, Brazil's currency), not counting the impact on the patient's quality of life and the increase in length of stay.

But how do you justify investing in new prevention technology such as [patient position](https://preveni.com.br/en/blog/glossary/#decubito) monitoring sensors? The answer is in the data.

## Meet Preveni's ROI calculator

To help managers see the real financial impact of prevention, we developed the ROI calculator — DecSense sensors vs. pressure injuries.

This interactive tool makes it possible to simulate scenarios based on your hospital's own numbers, weighing the investment in technology against the savings generated by preventing injuries.

## How does it work?

The calculator is simple and straightforward. You enter your institution's data and the tool does the rest:

1. Investment: Enter the number of DecSense sensors you want and the monthly investment per unit.
2. Savings by stage: The tool lets you break down the costs avoided by type of injury prevented, from Stage 1 through deep tissue or mucosal membrane injuries.
3. Clear results: When you enter the number of injuries you estimate preventing in the month, the calculator instantly projects the total savings and the return on investment (ROI).

## Why use this tool?

1. Data-driven decision-making: Turn prevention into concrete numbers to justify budgets.
2. Financial visibility: Understand the impact of each injury stage on your cash flow.
3. Strategic planning: Simulate different scenarios and see how DecSense technology pays for itself through the savings generated.

## Run your simulation

Don't let the cost of corrective treatment drain the resources of your hospital and of payers. Discover how technology can be an ally both financially and clinically.
