About

In the healthcare industry, patient repositioning is a critical aspect of providing quality care and preventing complications such as pressure ulcers, respiratory issues, and musculoskeletal injuries. Traditionally, manual patient repositioning has been the primary method used by healthcare professionals to reposition patients in bed. However, with advancements in technology, automated lateral patient turning systems have emerged as a potential alternative.

This webinar aims to explore the benefits and considerations of both manual patient repositioning and automated lateral patient turning systems. We will delve into the various factors that healthcare professionals need to consider when deciding which method to use, including patient safety, staff workload, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.

Our expert panel of healthcare professionals will share their insights and experiences with both manual and automated repositioning methods. They will discuss the challenges they have faced, the outcomes they have observed, and the lessons they have learned. Additionally, they will provide practical tips and strategies for implementing effective patient repositioning protocols in different healthcare settings.

Whether you are a nurse, caregiver, or healthcare administrator, this webinar will provide you with valuable information to make informed decisions about patient repositioning methods. Join us as we compare manual patient repositioning and automated lateral patient turning systems, and discover the best practices for ensuring patient comfort, safety, and well-being.
