Bed moving

[robertsh@sath.org.au]

Hi, I know this is not related to infection control.

My Don is asking me to benchmark practices with other hospitals on how they manage to transfer of patients and beds

I was wondering if anyone could tell me there policy on moving patients in beds around the hospital.

* Do you have a transfer system
* policy that 2 staff members must push the bed and patient
* or can 1 staff member push patient and bed
* if bed is empty how many people can push the bed

Could you please email me directly.
I appreciate all help.
Thanks
Helen
