Four Common Reasons to Avoid Changing to Leverage Patient Transfers

Don’t understand leverage based patient transfers

Our staff has patient transfers under control

Patient transfers are not a problem here

It’s not my problem

Any one of these reasons is sufficient to keep your health care facility operating at a dangerous level ad documented by the injury statics that come out year after year.  Choose any one that you are most comfortable with and go with it. 

Or, find out why none of these reasons are valid and in fact are dangerous.  Attend a 30 minute patient transfer safety webinar to find out the reason health care facilities are adopting leverage based transfers to replace the conventional transfer methods that have resulted in such a large number of injuries.
