PRLog (Press Release) - Feb 15, 2010 -
Cited from its Website, The Applied Ergonomics Conference (AEC) is one of the largest and most impressive ergonomics conferences in North America. Presenters are practitioners sharing real-world experiences and practical solutions to common problems in industry. This conference provides comprehensive and broad-spectrum education for employees at all levels (managers to professionals to line workers).

Mark your calendars! Jill Kelby, Ergo-PATH System President, will present “Reducing Caregiver Error Through a Systems Approach to Safe Patient Handling” on Wednesday, March 24th from 8:00-8:30a.m.

Reducing Caregiver Error Through a Systems Approach to Safe Patient Handling presentation description: A new tool is introduced as a way to prevent caregiver error and patient injury.   It can also assist with the culture change of the facility from the caregiver “habit” of manually moving/transferring the patient to one of consistently using safe patient handling equipment.  The tool incorporates the patient’s mobility, physical environment and the available SPH equipment and accessories in order to guide the caregiver to select the correct equipment.  Incorporating human factors and a systems thinking approach into safe patient handling programs will improve the functionality and effectiveness of the program.    

Do your careproviders ever choose the wrong SPH equipment to use on their patients?  Have either your careproviders or patients been injuried from the incorrect choice and/or use of SPH equipment?  Is so, this presentation will introduce you to a new tool that will eliminate those errors and injuries.

We’re looking forward to meeting members in the safety, health and risk management community at the Applied Ergonomics Conference!

See you in Texas!!!
