Listen "A Unified Approach: Safe Patient Handling and Falls Prevention"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Key In to Quality, Dr. Laura Breeher and nurse administrator Paul Lorentz share how Mayo Clinic integrated safe patient handling and falls prevention into one multidisciplinary structure that serves patients and employees alike.The conversation explores scaling for smaller hospitals, engaging non-nursing roles like transport staff, and designing future care environments (from flooring to lighting) to reduce risk. With patient acuity rising, the team emphasizes continuous improvement, new technology adoption, and celebrating wins (not just investigating injuries). Their advice: find passionate champions and build supportive infrastructure.
