If you're like most of your colleagues in facilities across the country, you're looking for ways to keep your nursing staff healthy and reduce workers compensation claims, while maintaining a high level of resident care.
"Resident Transfers: The Safe Way" can help you do all that and more.
This video-based training program starts by addressing the reluctance to use, or use properly, the transfer equipment available in your facility. It focuses on the need to assess residents' physical condition and match the appropriate equipment to the resident's needs.
Finally, it introduces and demonstrates how to use the five most frequently available kinds of transfer equipment: the total lift, sit-to-stand lift, Slipp patient mover, shower chair and walking belt.
With "Resident Transfers: The Safe Way" you can help your nursing staff:
~ Recognize safe transfers as an important element of good health for nursing staff and residents
~ Identify the criteria for using each of the five featured transfer aids
~ Receive a clear demonstration on how to use transfer equipment
~ Become motivated to reduce, and finally eliminate, the incidence of non-aided transfers
The key to a complete leaning experience will, of course, be hands-on proactive with the transfer equipment in your facility. The video program prepares your staff members to get the most from such practice, and the facilitator guide included with the program makes it easy for you to plan and conduct your session.
"Resident Transfers: The Safe Way" is a must for new-hires and an outstanding refresher for all current members of your nursing staff who transfer or assist residents.
