The right positioning system can help deliver safe, secure patient moving and maintainable repositioning to protect at-risk anatomical sites. This can assist in reducing the incidence of pressure ulcers and associated costs to the facility. Effective repositioning can help the patient feel attended and cared for. Learn how one Magnet®-designated hospital, transitioned from previous standard of care to the use of a positioning system with fluidized positioners resulted in specialty bed rental cost reduction by $58,000, and reduced claims for patient repositioning-related staff injuries by 55% in one year.
