  • ""Injuries and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are common in nurses and other healthcare workers and are often caused by manually lifting and moving patients. This is more than just an inconvenience; these injuries are often life altering and career ending. ANA's new breakthrough guide will help to prevent injuries and protect nurses and other healthcare workers. The guide contains eight overarching safe patient handling and mobility (SPHM) standards. These national interdisciplinary standards address the responsibilities of the employer or health care organization and those of healthcare workers and ancillary/support staff and are applicable across the care continuum"--Publisher website."
  • "The Safe Patient Handling and Mobility Standards establish a uniform, national foundation for safe patient handling and mobility to prevent injury to healthcare workers and healthcare recipients across the care continuum. These standards outline the role of both the employer and healthcare workers in safe patient handling and mobility. There are eight overarching standards featured in the book, each one outlined and explained in detail: Culture of Safety, Sustainable SPHM Program, Ergonomic Design Principle, SPHM Technology, Education, Training, and Maintaining Competence, Patient-Centered Assessment, Reasonable Accommodation and Post-Injury Return to Work, Comprehensive Evaluation Systems Nurses and all other healthcare workers can use these standards to improve their safe patient handling and mobility programs and optimize safe, high quality patient care.--Page 4 de la couverture."
