  • 1.  Patient Transfer

    Posted 06-30-2022 09:12
    Hi,

    Wondering if anyone has a procedure they would share on safe patient handling with transferring patients and ergonomics for medical staff?

    Thanks so much!

    Hi Jessica!

    Nice to see you in the Open Forum.  Congratulations on passing your exam!! That is great news!

    The VA has a robust program/campaign in safe patient handling.  There is a great public-facing site that is loaded with tons of resources- PowerPoints, flyers, guidelines etc.
    I hope you find this helpful! Safe Patient Handling and Mobility (SPHM) - Public Health (va.gov)

    Hope you have healthy and safe 4th of July!
