Safe Patient Handling and Movement

The ANA supports elimination of manual patient handling in an effort to reduce work related injuries among nurses, other healthcare workers and patients. The goal of the Safe Patient Handling and Movement (SPHM) program is to protect nurses, healthcare workers and patients from injuries sustained during patient transfers by using assistive devices and in doing so will cut work related healthcare costs and improve overall safety of said parties. The implementation of the SPHM program also aims at reducing the nursing shortage by prolonging nurse’s careers that may have been cut short by injuries sustained at the workplace.
