SPH Medical is helping hospitals all across California comply with the new Safe Patient Handling regulations that take effect October 1st, 2014. Under the new regulations, the appropriate assistive solutions must be accessible and available for staff to use them when necessary. “By offering hospitals a low cost entry point to stock par levels of the essential slings, repositioning sheets, limb holding straps, and lateral transfer pads we are helping our customers develop a safer environment for their patients and staff and maintain compliance with the new law” said Tony Coleman, President of SPH Medical. He also added, “Patient lifts and fabric slings are typically capital purchases, but these low cost single patient use items are easy to stock and can be purchased from an operational budget. By eliminating laundry costs, laundry turnaround time, and slings that get lost in the laundry, we’re able so show increased compliance and greater risk/injury reduction”
