This is a free webinar offered through the Client/Patient Handling Community of Practice (CoP), in partnership with CRE-MSD, PSHSA, and VHA Home HealthCare.
In this webinar
In current practice, two-person transfers are often high-risk, resource-intensive activities that can limit opportunities for client mobility and independence. This webinar presents a draft resource to support regulated practitioners/assessors in considering a diverse range of available equipment when selecting transfer approaches. Information about each option is presented with a restorative lens to help providers identify options which “achieve the required tasks as comfortably and safely as possible for the client and care provider while promoting client independence/rehabilitation.” Webinar participant feedback and engagement will be sought to inform further revisions to this resource.
