To What Extent Should We Improve Policies To Ensure All Care Plans

EMPLOYERS SHOULD Improve policies to ensure all care plans decide whether ergonomic assistive devices are compulsory. Arrange for ergonomic assistive devices (such as slide boards or gait belts) when needed. Arrange for training on assistive ergonomic devices, their uses, the clinical condition requiring them, and how to order them in the plan of care. Improve policies to assess the caregiver’s skill with the assistive devices once he or she has been trained and is using
them.
