[MCOH-EH] Patient lifting/transfer teams

[Angeli Mancuso]

We do not have dedicated lifting teams. All of our staff (nursing, physical and respiratory therapy, patient transport, etc)  is trained to use the variety of lifts and mobility equipment.

Subject: [MCOH-EH] Patient lifting/transfer teams

Does your facility have a dedicated staff for patient lifting/transferring?

If not, how do you provide extra personnel when they are needed?

If yes, does the team cover the facility 24/7?

If yes, does the team have other duties to occupy their down time when they might not be call to transfer/lift a patient?


Thanks!
