SPHM Consulting

Safe Patient Handling Assessments

Atlas provides assessment services to facilities looking to implement or improve SPHM programs. We deliver solutions for you to create a safer workplace, and lower costs through preventing caregiver injury. We maintain a vendor neutral stance to assess the unique needs of your facility and your safe patient handling program. Whether you intend to implement or improve a minimal lift program, lift team program, or a hybrid program, we are ready to guide you through the process.

Atlas prides itself on being dynamic to the specific needs of individual facilities. We customize programs that allow patients, caregivers, and facilities to enjoy the benefits of safe mobilization. Our consulting services pay particular attention to the culture of your facility to develop an actionable plan aimed at improving metrics and cutting costs. Our consulting begins with a facility assessment and delivers a safer and more efficient hospital. This includes a review of current equipment inventory and usage as well as peripheral elements of the program. We identify potential barriers to success and provide the solutions to overcome these. We help build the supportive infrastructure your employees need to perform SPH tasks safely and confidently. Additionally, our assessment services can be tailored to optimize your current program to make the most of existing resources, or prepare your program for expansion.
