[Leibu, Rachel]

Have you done a cost benefit analysis showing how much cost reduction will be realized from a reduction in your patient handling injuries?

Subject: [MCOH-EH] Patient Handling Equipment

Hi all!
Is there any way to charge the patient for patient handling equipment that is used? We would like to have available in each patient room a single patient use HoverMatt and/or slide sheet.
Unfortunately the expense would be too great if there is no way to charge it to the patient that it is used on.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Eileen
