About the Safe Patient Handling Program

The Vanderbilt Safe Patient Handling Program goals are to support a culture of wellness, to standardize safe patient handling practices, and reduce caregiver injuries.

After implementation of a Safe Patient Handling program, injuries from patient handling have become less common and caregivers who were injured returned to full duty more quickly.

If you are interested in ordering safe patient handling equipment for your unit please speak with the purchasing agent for your unit. Patient handling equipment such as the STEDY, Maximove slings or batteries, and the HoverMatts can be ordered through e-procurement.
