Clackamas, Oregon (PRWEB) January 05, 2012
Devastating physical and financial blows have been felt for years from both sides of the hospital curtain due to the alarming rate of healthcare workforce injuries. According to the American Nurses Association, more than one-third of back injuries among nurses and other caregivers have been associated with the handling of patients and the frequency with which caregivers are required to move them. It is estimated that the cost to the nation in 2008 was 7.4 billion dollars in direct and indirect costs for workers compensation claims, medical bills, and staff replacements for health care workers (U.S. Senate, 2010; UMass, 2011).
As a result of the staggering statistics regarding occupational healthcare injuries, nine states have mandated legislation that requires powered lifts and transfer devices in lieu of manual lifting. California now follows suit with the Hospital Patient and Health Care Worker Injury Protection Act (AB 1136), which became law on January 1, 2012. Acute care hospitals in California will now be responsible to implement Safe Patient Handling (SPH) policies to mitigate injury and protect caregivers and patients.
Working to minimize risk for caregivers, patients and healthcare facilities alike, Oregons WyEast Medical, has been designing and manufacturing mobility solutions for safe patient handling for over 20 years. In fact, WyEast helps to move patients in one out of three hospitals in the United States. The companys TotaLift-II Transfer Chair, an innovative stretcher that converts to a chair, is currently being used in thousands of healthcare facilities around the world and offers a simple option to manual lifting. The patented design provides for a transfer pad that actually moves the patient from bed to stretcher and back again with absolutely no lifting on the part of the caregiver.
The proper use of patient transfer systems results in a dramatic reduction in injury to caregivers and patients. Many organizations have seen the benefits where they matter most on the bottom line, said Eric Race, president and founder of Atlas Lift Tech, a company that provides safe patient handling programs and services for the medical industry. These results are measured in terms that most organizations notice: fewer claims and a marked reduction in lost days away from work (DAW). We have found the WyEast TotaLift-II to help us accomplish just that.
Improper lift procedures are virtually negated by the simple transfer process of the TotaLift-II. And the equipment is appropriate in almost any care environment, from ICU to cardiac care to orthopedics, burn units and more. All processes are either hydraulic or mechanical, eliminating the need for a power source. WyEasts patient transfer systems are flexible, ergonomically sound and designed for varying bed heights and tight spaces. As a rule, they are manufactured in accordance with the highest manufacturing standards.
“I have used the WyEast TotaLift chairs in critical care and step-down units for the past ten years — it is one of the most useful assistive devices available on the market, says Pat Henry, RN, MS, Nurse Manager, ICU/TCU, San Francisco, California. The chair is practical, simple to use and ergonomically correct. And according to our patients, it is comfortable and secure.

Question by Hank: What exactly does the new healthcare law say?
What exactly does the new healthcare law say? Many people are stating that you can be criminally cited and charged if you fail to have healthcare insurance. Is that the gist of it? Or is there more to it?

Answer by Maxwell
I was told by the ruling party that we had to sign it into law to find out what it said. The criminal charges start in 2014 and begin with exorbitant fines for not having health care coverage. I have heard numbers from 3100 to 5700 for a single party. If I had 3-6k sitting around i’d get medical insurance, stupid government.
