The groundbreaking American Nurses Association Safe Patient Handling and Mobility Interprofessional Standards have been adopted by healthcare facilities around the world that want to establish a uniform foundation for safe patient handling and mobility (SPHM) programs. This Implementation Guide written by Susan Gallagher, PhD, MSN, MA, RN is complementary to the Standards and is essential in streamlining SPHM programmatic success.
The Implementation Guide to the Safe Patient Handling and Mobility Interprofessional National Standards gives step-by-step ways to implement each of the eight Standards and includes:
- A snapshot introduction that frames today’s practice context and SPHM experiences.
- Numerous detailed ideas and insights for employers and employees.
- Extensive resources and readings in the latest research, techniques, and methodologies.
- Setting specific examples of how each Standard can address realistic issues and challenges.
All healthcare workers who are committed to using the Standards to achieve safe, high quality patient care will find no better guide along the way.
