Staff shortage is a painful issue to manage and one of the main causes is back injuries due to lifting, moving and handling of patients. Caregivers reduce patient suffering but often hurt themselves in the process which can lead to pain and psychological issues causing shortage of staff and no budgets to replace them.
Reducing risks of Pressure Ulcers through complementary prevention and therapy strategies will improve patient outcomes and shorten length of stay. By not being able to invest in primary Pressure Ulcer prevention solutions, healthcare facilities put their patients at risk of developing complications and by not providing them with high performance products when they need them the most, patient lives are at risk and huge costs are associated due to treatment and length of stay.
Reducing risks of Patient Falls by designing safe, ergonomic and clinically efficient care settings will help facilities provide a No Falls environment. Non optimised patient rooms are a risk hazard to any healthcare facility, especially in long term care. Elderly patients recover more quickly in a friendly, comfortable environment which enables them to move freely but this can put them at risk if the room is not specifically designed for their reduced mobility. Caregivers also consume time and effort moving around the room due to bed positioning, access to the care zone as well as having to manage tricky patient manoeuvres to the bathroom and back.
