Keynote Speaker: Rhonda Turner from ASPHP (MSN-LD, CSPHA)
Presentation focus: Establishing a strong foundation with a comprehensive safe patient handling and mobility programme moving into the journey of caring for patients with size.
With 33 years of blended healthcare experience, I have gained my advanced practice degree in Nursing Leadership and Healthcare Education. I have witnessed firsthand the shift in the patients that we care for, specifically with our obese and bariatric population. Morbid obesity is on the rise and that brings special considerations in caring for patients of size to the forefront. Taking a proactive stance within the healthcare system to ensure our patients and caregivers are safe is imperative. Additionally, how do we train to capture empathy, skin care, size considerations, respiratory needs, and patient handling in a safe manner?
First, we must begin with a strong policy and foundation around safe patient handling and mobility (SPHM). This must capture a comprehensive safe patient handling and mobility program grounded by the 8 American Nursing Association SPHM standards. A strong interdisciplinary approach must be utilized to help seal the gaps with implementation and to support that necessary culture of safety.
Secondly, we must accept that there are vast and varied challenges in caring for patients of size. Innovation from the SPHM world can enhance how we deliver care and improve patient and staff outcomes. Partnering with Dr. Susan Gallagher, a renowned international expert in wound and bariatric care, Banner Health has found that key in providing hands on training and exploration of the focused needs within our system concerning our bariatric population. I will share the research that we have accomplished and the outcomes of how we can provide training in a safe, engaging manner that in turn, reaches our patients with dignified and respectful care.
