Costs of caregivers’ compensation, treatment of pressure injuries and patient falls in US healthcare facilities
How do we guarantee financial outcomes with Arjo MOVE® Program?
Patient mobilization is not just a clinical priority, but a financial one. Compromised mobility is a widely recognized risk factor for a number of Hospital-Acquired Conditions (HACs). In addition, patients with compromised mobility are more dependent, adding to the burden on caregivers while exposing them to increased risk of physical strain.
Here are some key figures on caregivers’ compensation, treatment of pressure injuries and patient falls in US healthcare facilities:
