Do it Right. Safe Patient Transfers Require Decipline to learn and executes the critical moves

Just like CPR you want the person performing it to know how to do it right.  You don’t just want someone pounding on your chest while delivering a sloppy kiss.  The same is true for caregivers.  The difference between a properly executed patient transfer and the grab and lift is dramatic.  It’s really like the difference between chicken salad and chicken shit. Give your patient chicken salad by learning the correct technique for patient handling.  mrswivel.com
