The Safe Patient Handling and Mobility (SPHM) Standards were
published in 2013 to fulfil a need for national guidelines to
reduce the risks of injuries and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs)
of healthcare workers. Significant strides have been made in SPHM
research, education, training, and advocacy, since the first
edition of the Standards. But patient handling and mobility-related
injury rates have not been reduced significantly. This means that
our work is not done. One goal of the second edition is to
communicate the continued need for standardized SPHM programs and
resources and re-ignite SPHM discussions and improvements. There
are eight overarching standards featured in the book, each one
outlined and explained in detail: Culture of Safety Sustainable
SPHM Program Ergonomic Design Principles SPHM Technology Education,
Training, and Maintaining Competence Patient-Centered Assessment
Reasonable Accommodation and Post-Injury Return to Work
Comprehensive Evaluation System Nurses and all other healthcare
workers must continue to use technology, do research, and discover
new and unique ways to promote the value of SPHM to keep themselves
and their patients safe.
The last decade has seen enormous upheaval within all aspects of
health care, and the gastrointestinal/ gastroenterology (GI)
service has been no exception. Increasing demand for new and
established diagnostic and interventional procedures has encouraged
innovative models of service delivery, resulting in a range of
health professionals crossing traditional practice boundaries. In
particular, nurses and radiographers have seized the opportunity to
develop their scope of practice, managing a range of procedures
including colonoscopy, barium studies and CT colonography. This
has, in many cases, freed both radiologists and gastroenterologists
to take on new roles in the interventional service. The development
of new procedures and new ways of working has promoted a renewed
enthusiasm for critical evaluation of the GI service as a whole. As
practitioners and clinicians learn new skills and extend their
scope of practice it is essential that they have a thorough
understanding of the basis of safe, effective and evidence based
practice. This book offers the reader a detailed overview of the
range of imaging procedures that may be employed in the
investigation of gastrointestinal tract pathology, and explores
current practice related to the subsequent patient care pathways
and treatment options. It has been designed as a detailed reference
guide for all health professionals who have a direct involvement in
the GI tract and its imaging, including those who may be referring
patients for GI radiological investigation, those professionals who
are performing and subsequently reporting the procedures, and the
clinicians responsible for the subsequent patient management. This
book offers a unique insight into the rapidly changing radiology
service, and offers introductory chapters which provide the
fundamental underpinning knowledge required for safe and effective
GI practice. Subsequent chapters discuss the evidence base related
to a range of imaging procedures suitable for investigation of
upper and lower GI symptoms, supported by key pathology chapters.
The book also explores the range of treatments available for the
more common GI tract pathology. Multi professional authorship.
Detailed evidence-informed explanations of a range of individual GI
procedures, including suggestions for problem solving and
adaptation of technique. With extensive illustrations, medical
images, boxes and tables. References and further reading. /ul>
