Routine care tasks should not put your caregivers at risk

Caregivers perform transfer, repositioning and hygiene tasks many times throughout the day. If these essential care tasks are not performed with the right equipment, care processes and skills, they can put caregivers at risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) and injury.

 

Use of the right mechanical assistive aids can improve caregiver safety and reduce the high costs related to caregiver injury.³

Arjo Insight supports you to elevate safety, efficiency and quality of care by:

Ensuring the provision of suitable equipment in good working condition:

  • Reduces the need to resort to manual handling, which can put your care staff at increased risk of physical strain and injury. This in turn helps to reduce staff sick leave and turnover, along with the associated costs
  • Enables more resident/patient transfer and hygiene tasks to be performed by a single caregiver, thus promoting workflow efficiency
  • Reduces costly equipment downtime as well as the safety risks associated with equipment breaking down during use

Your Insight assessment also evaluates the available space and layout of your care environment to safely and efficiently undertake mobility transfer and hygiene care routines, and accommodate the supporting devices required.

"Doing Arjo assessments has given us three things:

  • Knowledge of our equipment needs - both short-term and long-term
  • Confidence that we are able to meet the needs of our patient mix at unit level
  • Allowed a review of (equipment maintenance) processes to prevent injuries to staff and patients."
