About Braden
Since 1988, the original Braden Scale© has become, and still is, the gold standard for predicting pressure injuries. The updated Braden Scale II© was developed by Dr. Amy Hester in consultation with Drs. Barbara Braden and Nancy Bergstrom. The new content, delivered directly to you, includes a scoring guide and clinician training module offering clinical nursing staff the resources they need to provide the most reliable way to achieve better outcomes in PI Prevention. Rigorous multi-phase reliability studies have demonstrated excellent inter-rater reliability (IRR) and consistency in scoring between both novice and experienced nursing staff.
