[MCOH-EH] Patient Transfers from car to wheelchair

[Viereck, Maryann]

Small slide board when you can remove arm of wheelchair, placed under buttock , then can slide from car to wheelchair.  Most WC dependent patients use this, however, most hospital wheelchairs arms are NOT removable.  In that case it is more difficult, the stand & pivot method might help, if pt can give some assistance, otherwise lift equipment or lift team to assist

Good afternoon.
Can anyone advise on a good piece of equipment to use for getting a patient into or out of a car. Preferably rather small and portable with no slings.
Thanks!

Eileen
