Evaluation of Ceiling Lifts in Health Care Settings: Patient Outcome and Perceptions
AAOHN Journal, 10/28/09
Alamgir H et al. – No significant relationships existed between ceiling lift coverage and patient outcome indicators after adding the “year” variable to the model. Patients generally approved of the use of ceiling lifts and recognized many of the benefits. Ceiling lifts are not detrimental to the quality of care received by patients, and patients prefer being transferred by ceiling lifts. The relationship between ceiling lift coverage and pressure ulcer rates warrants further investigation.
