expansion of the portal to incorporate both a Hot Topics section and a Help Desk. Here’s your chance
to "give back" to your industry by letting us know what topics you want
covered and whether a Help Desk would be of interest to you in the future.

Should we add a new "Hot Topics" section to Safe Lifting Portal ?
One of this newsletter's goals is to make your job easier by keeping you abreast of subjects
that are current in the field of safe patient handling and caregiver injury prevention.
One suggestion is to institute a "Hot Topics" section that would give readers
single-click access to a wide variety of information on a given topic.
Please click here to give us your
opinion and to suggest possible topics you would
like us to include if the section gets a "thumbs up."
- Should we consider adding a "Help Desk" to Safe Lifting Portal?
Of the 5,000 to 6,000 hospitals and 15,000 Nursing Homes in the US alone, it has been estimated
that as few as 500 hospitals and perhaps 1,500 nursing homes have active Safe Lifting or
Caregiver Injury Prevention programs. One of the biggest hurdles is how to get started
with a program, quickly and cost-effectively. A safe lifting help desk would put you in
touch with other professionals who could give you practical, real-time advice based on
their experience.
Please click here to give us your opinion on whether a help desk might
be useful, and which technologies you would prefer.
-
Do you have other ideas that might help to assist your counterparts in preventing
caregiver injuries?
Give us your ideas and we will happily share them with healthcare
facilities worldwide.
