    3. Where To Start

    4. Step 1: Collect Baseline Injury Data

    5. Step 2: Identify High-Risk Units

    6. Step 3: Gather Data About High Risk Units Patient Population/Staffing/Equipment Use Staffing Discuss projected plans Describe the patient, including dependency level 0 Independent 1 Supervision 2 Limited Assistance 3 Extensive Assistance 4 Total Dependence

    7. Step 3: Gather Data About High Risk Units Space considerations General facility layout Doorway width Angles and turns Storage Dining rooms Hallway Railings Visiting rooms Activity rooms Common bathrooms

    8. Step 3: Gather Data About High Risk Units

    9. Step 3: Gather Data about High Risk Units

    10. Step 3: Gather Data About High Risk Units Current equipment/ furniture Beds Height Type Chairs Wheelchairs Geri chairs Regular chairs Recliners Toilets High rise Regular Tables Height Types Life devices Positioning and repositioning devices Other equipment Scales

    19. Step 8: Determine Recommendations

    20. Step 8: Implement Recommendations

    21. EQUIPMENT SELECTION: Engineering Controls

    22. EQUIPMENT SELECTION: Engineering Control Strategies

    23. EQUIPMENT SELECTION: Engineering Control Strategies

    24. EQUIPMENT SELECTION: Engineering Control Strategies Equipment availability Adequate variety of slings In a convenient location Toilet and bathing mesh slings Available and in accessible areas Storage room Empty room Short term use in the hallway

    25. EQUIPMENT SELECTION:What to Buy?? Total dependence Patients Level 4 Full sling mechanical lift device Extensive Assistance Level 3 Use of aid of a mechanical device Stand assist device Supervision/Limited Assist Level 2 & 1 Depending on the patients condition Stand assist lift Walking aid device Gait belts Sliding board Avoid manual lifting

    26. EQUIPMENT SELECTION:What to Buy?? Independent Patients Level 0 Capable of bearing own weight Walk without assistance Lifts from Floor A single full sling mechanical lift If patient can regain standing with minimal assist: transfer gait with handles

    28. EQUIPMENT SELECTION:What to Buy?? 6. Repositioning Bed: Bed controls utilized Trendelenberg positioning Friction reducing devices Chair: Stand assist lift Gait Belts Hand slings

    29. EQUIPMENT SELECTION:What to Buy?? 7. Special Situations Devices Bariatric patients ? special equipment Transfer chairs ? stretcher chairs Mechanical friction reducing Sliding boards Transfer belts Special training
