The Liko-sponsored Safe Lifting Portal is an injury prevention site provided for the public good and designed to help nurses and caregivers avoid musculoskeletal injuries caused by lifting and repositioning patients.
According to Melissa Nowitz, administrator of the Safe Lifting Portal, "We believe that Safe Lifting practices will logically extend from the institutional market into the home care segment once families and service providers become more aware of the need to lift and reposition patients in a safe, secure manner in all settings, including the home. The new Home Care Safe Lifting Portal seeks to facilitate this extension by serving as a consultative resource and information clearing-house for home care agencies, risk and insurance firms, and families and patients."
The Home Care Safe Lifting Portal covers a variety of patient safety, injury prevention and patient handling topics such as how to assess the patient and home environment for safety and how to select the proper assistive equipment. It also includes a user forum and question-and-answer column called "Ask the Home Care Lift Doctor." The new site can be accessed directly by visiting www.safeliftingportal.com/homecare
