The use of ceiling lifts as Safe Patient Handling and Mobility equipment will allows staff to provide patient care while minimizing risks for injuries for both patient and staff.

BACKGROUND: The use of Patient Ceiling Lifts has proven to be effective in preventing and reducing injuries for patients and staff when performing safe patient handling.

These lifts also improve quality of life for patients with limited mobility since it’s been documented that with the availability and proper use of

Safe Patient Handling and Movement Equipment (SPHM) the risks for falls and skin breakdown are reduced. Better care is provided throughout patient’s daily activities by different care providers such as:

physicians, nurses, occupational therapist, physical therapist, respiratory therapist, and others.
