Solana E Concurrent Track A Implementing a Patient Bedside Mobility Assessment Tool for Nurses: Linking Safe Patient Handling and Mobility (SPHM) and Falls Prevention Boynton, Kumpar, Trudgen A patient's mobility status can impact treatment, patient handling and transfer decisions, and outcomes including fall risk. Utilizing a mobility assessment can provide reliable information to improve patient safety and prevent complications of immobility. This session will cover the development and implementation of a mobility assessment tool for nurses, which is linked to safe patient handling technology. Solana C D Concurrent Track B Safe Patient Handling and Mobility (SPHM), Falls and the Patient of Size Gallagher Differences in body habitus leads to differences in balance and center of gravity. Body weight maldistribution is found among healthcare workers and healthcare recipients alike. This course presents the science that explains this risk in fall related injuries, explores policies and procedures that address fall prevention, and relates SPHM policies, training and technology to address SPHM, falls and the patient of size. Solana A B Concurrent Track C It All Starts Here: Safe Patient Handling Training in the Nursing School Curriculum Witt, Swanson, Rowan This course will help to educate participants on the importance of implementing SPH training into the Nursing School curriculum and the positive impact it will have on changing the SPH culture within their organization.

Solana H I Break & Exhibits Media Center Concurrent Track A Engagement of the Therapy Team into SPHM Practice Dugan, Helfen Lardent How to present and collaborate with the rehabilitation team to maximize engagement of Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy team members to broaden their perspectives on the merits of SPHM to gain the therapeutic outcomes, yet remain safe within a high risk area. Solana C D Concurrent Track B When Wound Care and SPH Unite: Clinical Campaigns and Measurement Outcomes after Joint Education and Training McGann, Miller Learn about successful hospital initiatives that marry patient and associate safety to reduce DTI s, pressure ulcers and caregiver injury by promoting use of patient handling technology. Injury and skin care outcomes before and after campaigns and process implementation will be discussed. We bring our training to the caregivers using a mobile lift with posters, educational materials and goodies to promote our initiatives. Unit leadership, SPH leadership and Wound Care leadership join together to do the training for day, night and weekend shifts. Campaigns we will share include Use the Tools, Sling into Spring & Get Into the Sling of Things. This training takes SPHM culture to the next level by integrating it with patient care. Solana A B Concurrent Track C Making the Business Case for Safe Patient Handling Three Approaches to Getting it Done Celona, Hall Many (if not most) organizations ask for a business case to demonstrate the value and return on investment from a safe patient handling and mobilization program before allowing it to go forward. This talk will present three approaches to developing a business case (1) the super easy no work required method, (2) the more work but better approach; and (3) the most work 7

11:40 AM 12:30 PM 12:40 PM 1:30 PM 1:40 PM 2:30 PM approach, but also the most institution specific, able to quantify the total program value, and to handle difficult and complex decisions about designing your SPHM program. This last approach is being used by the VA to plan its next system wide SPHM program. Work from the VA and Stanford University Medical Center will be presented. Solana F G Concurrent Track D Post Fall Huddles: Determining Type of Fall and Preventability Quigley All organizations strive for falls to become "never events" in healthcare. However, falls remain among the top adverse events patients experience in our care. When a fall occurs, efforts must be implemented to decrease the chance of reoccurrence. During this session, participants will appreciate the role of a post fall huddle as a group consensus approach to determine immediate/root cause of the fall. Dr. Quigley will provide tools for post fall assessment, case studies for application, and resources to determine preventability. Solana H I Lunch & Exhibits: Enjoy a restful lunch or take advantage of the optional Round Table Discussions (Signs posted on tables; meet others at the conference with similar interests; these sessions do not have a facilitator).

Solana F G Concurrent Track D Mobility and Balance Awareness for Acute Care Castle This session reviews evidence of effective falls prevention efforts in the acute care setting and discusses why improvement efforts have been so challenging. Recommendations are provided for measureable hands on process improvement projects that focus on improving: (1) Communication (Teach Back, Huddle, Shift Hand Off (red flags); (2) Early Mobilization (who, what how); (3) Targeting Nursing Interventions: Delirium/Dementia, Toileting. Solana H I Concurrent Track A Partnering SPHM and the Physical Therapist Within the Progressive Mobility Model Dugan, Phelps Progressive and early mobilization of our patients is most critical in light of shortened lengths of stay, reducing reimbursements, and complications as a result of immobility. Continued improvements in patient clinical outcomes require the interdisciplinary collaboration of nursing and therapy to bring safe, yet effective, clinical outcomes within the ICU environments. Whether the patient is a traumatic neurologic, orthopedic, bariatric, or a combination of all three, achieving early and positive clinical outcomes are important to achieve both clinical and financial outcomes. Solana C D 8

2:40 PM 3:20 PM 3:30 PM 4:30 PM 5:00 PM 6:00 PM Concurrent Track B Complications of Immobility and SPH Practices in the ICU Kumpar As we continue to recognize the benefits of early mobility of the deconditioned patient we are compelled to look at the unsafe practice of manually assisting the patient out of the bed to a chair. The session looks at the deconditioned ICU patient and reviews SPH practice and protocol used to ensure we "make the first step a safe step" in the ICU. Solana A B Concurrent Track C The Secrets to a Successful SPHM Program Celona, Matz SPHM programs have been around for over a decade, and have a proven record of improving patient and caregiver outcomes. However, many institutions don t yet have one. This presentation will explain the obstacles to the adoption of a SPHM program and how to overcome them, plus the secrets to make sure your SPHM program is successful and achieves its full potential. Solana F G Concurrent Track D Connecting SPH and Fall Prevention Programs Hirschuber This presentation will demonstrate methods for connecting Safe Patient Handling and Falls Risk Programs. The importance of understanding, assessing, and implementation will demonstrate the connections that improve patient, staff safety and cultural change. Solana H I Break & Exhibits Media Center Concurrent Track A Lift Up Rehab: Improve Your Patient s Rehab Potential with Active Assisted Use of Patient Handling Technology McGann This session will demonstrate the use of standard slings and patient handling technologies in an active assisted manner at bedside and in the gym to facilitate the rehab process. This is shown on PowerPoint, video and in a practical setting with actual technologies. This training can be used as a rehab specific safe patient handling competency. The limitations of a typical rehab session often include fear, weakness, inability to detect fine motion and the inability to safely demonstrate limitations to patient and family. These limitations are all eliminated with the use of patient handling technology! Solana C D Concurrent Track B Providing A Standard of Care for Bariatric Patients Boynton, Gabaldon Healthcare workers can better care for bariatric patients if they understand their complex clinical needs. This session will describe how challenging issues were identified, and how processes were developed and implemented in order to provide a standard of care for bariatric patients. Solana A B Concurrent Track C Creating an Effective Poster Presentation From Start to Finish! Neidhardt This presentation will describe how to construct and deliver an effective poster presentation from start to finish. It will explore the process covering abstract submission, development and completion of poster board, presenting the poster, and the Dos and Don ts of poster presentations. Solana F G Concurrent Track D Bedside Methods for Determining Whether Your Patient Can Walk Safely Richardson The majority of falls occur following a perturbation. Safe walking requires the ability to withstand (reject) such perturbations. Rejecting a perturbation must occur quickly, and so is reliant upon intact sensation at the feet/ankles, rapid central processing time, and then the ability to generate strength quickly with the trunk and hips. The over riding goal of this talk will be to provide the listeners with a series of tools with which to evaluate each of these critical attributes.

Participants will examine how baseline assessment results are used for strategic planning, priority setting, and program implementation. The value of measurement pre and post program changes will be emphasized, linking outcomes to program changes. Participants will learn how this model was utilized to enhance fall and fall injury prevention programs across multiple sites in medical surgical and in patient psychiatry fall prevention strategies. Additionally, participants will be provided with a toolkit to assess program capacity and infrastructure, develop a unit level strategic plan, and then change clinical assessment, practices and environments of care. Solana H I Break Aurora A B C D Concurrent Track A Facilitating Progressive Mobility for Healthcare Patients with Ergonomics Fragala This session considers the importance of progressive mobility for healthcare patients and what is required by the caregiver to perform the tasks necessary to achieve effective progressive mobility. Current evidence has indicated that early and continued mobility is beneficial to the healthcare patient to enhance healing and for maintaining quality of life. Negative outcomes from immobility are well reported in the literature. Positioning in bed, bed egress and up in chair are discussed with a focus on the difficulty involved for the caregiver to perform these tasks. A presentation of the occupational risk factors of force, repetition and posture demonstrates how these activities put caregivers at risk for serious musculoskeletal injuries. Through application of the concepts of ergonomics, solutions and interventions are presented which can facilitate assisting patients with mobility and minimize risk of falls while reducing occupational risk to caregivers.
