Those providing healthcare, such as nurses, aides, orderlies, and other caregivers, may need to lift significant weight, up to four thousand pounds across a typical shift. It&#8217;s not surprising that these individuals are twice as likely to experience musculoskeletal injuries at work compared to employees in other sectors. However, these injuries can be prevented. The Patient Handling Safety course covers areas such as patient handling and caregiver injuries, algorithms, patient assessment and body mechanics, safe patient transfer practices, repositioning a patient in bed, the use of mechanical lift devices, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Upon completion of the Patient Handling Safety course, employees will be able to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Identify potential physical hazards related to patient handling procedures.<\/li>\n<li>Understand and utilize the equipment and work practices required for these tasks.<\/li>\n<li>Recognize the steps that healthcare organizations can take to safeguard employees from injuries associated with patient handling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"title-bar\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;float: none\">COURSE TOPICS<\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Introduction<\/li>\n<li>Patient Handling and Caregiver Injuries<\/li>\n<li>Algorithms, Patient Assessment and Body Mechanics<\/li>\n<li>Repositioning a Patient in Bed<\/li>\n<li>&#034;Lateral Transfer&#034; from Bed to Stretcher<\/li>\n<li>&#034;Stand-and-Pivot&#034; from Bed to Chair<\/li>\n<li>Mechanical Lift Devices<\/li>\n<li>Conclusion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"title-bar\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;float: none\">ONLINE COURSE DURATION<\/span><\/div>\n<p><b><br \/><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Estimated 30 minutes<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"title-bar\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;float: none\">PASS MARK<\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Testing conducted in the course of this online module is intended to reinforce the information provided.
