ROI Calculator

The cost of a turn,
in your numbers.

Built for Value Analysis and Safe Patient Handling teams. Enter your facility's own figures and this tool models what single-patient-use DigniTurn slings cost per year against what they return: staff injuries avoided, pressure injuries (HAPIs) prevented, and caregiver hours freed by making a two- or three-person turn a one-caregiver task. Every assumption below is yours to set.

Important: This is an early directional planning tool, not a validated economic study, clinical outcomes claim, or guarantee of savings. Results depend on local baseline data, adoption, patient mix, workflow compliance, and pilot outcomes.

Your facility

Inputs

Volume

%
Share of occupied beds. ~30% on a typical acute floor; 70–80% in SNF/LTAC.
%
Drives how often a new patient (and new sling) cycles through a bed.
days
One sling per patient stay; for long-stay residents, replaced on this cadence.

$

Staff injuries today

Your SPH or risk team's count for this facility.
Workers' comp + medical + lost time + replacement. ~$37K is a conservative blended figure; severe injuries run well into six figures.
$

Pressure injuries (HAPIs)

Your wound-care / quality team's HAPI count. Easier, on-schedule turns improve repositioning compliance, the front-line defense against pressure injuries.
~$21,800 average incremental cost; Stage 3–4 wounds exceed $100K. CMS does not reimburse HAPIs, so this lands fully on the hospital.

Your scenario assumptions

10%
Set this conservatively. DigniTurn does not yet hold clinical injury-reduction data, so this is your modeled scenario, not a manufacturer claim.
10%
Repositioning is one driver of HAPIs among several. A modest reduction reflects the compliance gain from easier, on-schedule turns. Your scenario, not a claim.

Labor freed per turn

A turn that takes 2–3 staff today becomes a 1-caregiver task. Count only the staff you'd free.
Average is q2h (every 2 hours), or 12 a day, for patients with incontinence, a low Braden score, or low nutrition score.
min
$/hr
30%
Freed time becomes cash only when it offsets overtime, agency, or turnover. A low realization rate keeps the case credible.

Break-even

How to read this. Three levers drive the return. Staff injury avoidance is real cash but, on its own, often only approaches break-even against full sling deployment. Pressure injury (HAPI) avoidance is frequently the larger prize: because CMS does not reimburse hospital-acquired pressure injuries, every one prevented is a direct hit avoided to the hospital's margin, and easier on-schedule turns are a front-line defense. The labor lever, making a multi-person turn a one-caregiver task, is the multiplier on top. Where a facility's injuries or HAPIs are severe and costly, those lines alone can justify adoption. The figures here are a planning model built entirely from inputs you control; they are not a clinical or financial guarantee.
