Review of the provider's April 2024 Safe Patient Handling and Mobility policy revealed:*If nursing is uncertain on how to safely transfer a resident, the healthcare provider should consult nursing leadership and or skilled therapy for guidance. *Nursing can independently decide whether to downgrade a transfer method. *Physical therapy and occupational therapy must be utilized in the instance that an upgrade is necessary. *Residents utilizing the stand aide lift must be able to provide weight bearing assistance through all extremities to utilize the stand aide lift. If a resident is found to be hanging or chicken winging in the stand aide, then a Hoyer lift must be utilized for the resident and the healthcare provider safety. *Healthcare providers are to follow the resident care plan for proper and safe resident transfers.
