In hospice care, comfort and dignity are everything. Caring with Dignity explores how the SideLyer motorized repositioning system helps ease one of caregiving’s hardest tasks—turning immobile patients—through gentle, motorized movement.
We’re excited to share that SideLyer will be exhibiting at the Symposium on Advanced Wound Care (SAWC) taking place this year in Las Vegas, NV, from September 4 through 6, 2025. Mark your calendars and join us at booth #643!
This blog examines recent research on CMS penalty patterns under the Hospital-Acquired Condition Reduction Program. We look at why most penalized hospitals don't receive penalties the following year, discuss factors contributing to this volatility, and explore why pressure injury prevention may be one of the few controllable elements in the current system. This blog includes penalty data, cost considerations, and thoughts on planning strategies given the regulatory uncertainty.
Long-term care facilities face a critical challenge where manual patient repositioning puts staff at risk for injury while compromising resident care quality. When caregivers fear injury from heavy lifting, they reposition residents less frequently, creating dangerous pressure injury risks for vulnerable patients. Modern mechanical repositioning devices offer a breakthrough solution by protecting staff from physical strain while ensuring consistent, safe resident care. These innovative systems transform a harmful cycle into a win-win scenario where both caregiver safety and resident wellbeing improve together.
