“HANDS-ON” PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE WITH THE NEWEST PATIENT HANDLING EQUIPMENT: BED-RELATED TASKS
This pre-conference provides a tutorial and opportunities to gain competencies in the newest patient handling equipment. This program would be most helpful for direct care providers as well as educators and peer safety leaders responsible for competency assessments of staff. Participants will rotate to 6 unique stations over a 3 - hour period, addressing:
- Technologies/techniques for bed repositioning (part 1)
- Technologies/techniques for bed repositioning (part 2)
- Diverse (and underutilized) sling options for ceiling lifts
- Tips for personal care (feeding stools, dressing/undressing, bathing in bed)
- Innovative applications for friction reducing devices
- Air-assisted lateral transfer devices and creative ways to integrate these devices across care settings

BARIATRIC SAFE PATIENT HANDLING ALL-NEW LIVING LABORATORY
Be part of this all-day bariatric event! Experience the practical application of safehandling technologies and its science. Learn the hands-on how, why and when of the latest equipment. Creative learning tools such as our bariatric “suited” model, video clip competition, and more are part of this all-new living laboratory. Take advantage of this opportunity to follow a unit peer leader through three simulated settings across the continuum of care, learn how to integrate a Bariatric Toolkit into your practice, take home resources and web sources to build your program, and create a real-life action plan for your setting!
