Des experts du Royaume-Uni, du Canada, du Taïwan, de la Suède et des États-Unis échangent sur les défis posés par la mise en oeuvre des PDSB dans le contexte des soins à domicile. Les plus grands défis soulevés lors de la discussion ont été le financement, la technologie et sa disponibilité, la formation et la culture. Bien que ces défis se posent également en milieux de soins aigus, les relever dans le contexte des soins à domicile ou des soins en milieu communautaire exige une approche bien différente et peut appeler à des connaissances et compétences distinctes.
For many healthcare professionals, implementing safe patient handling and mobility (SPHM) in a home and community setting remains the final SPHM frontier. While some countries, such as Scandinavia and Holland, have already made a great deal of progress in this area, others such as the United States are struggling to make even the smallest dent in progressing SPHM into any area other than acute and long-term care. This round table discussion provides perspectives from experts from the United Kingdom, Canada, Taiwan, Sweden, and the United States on why implementing SPHM in a home healthcare setting is such a challenge and what can be done to make it more inclusive to the continuum of safe patient care. During the discussion, funding, technology and availability, training, and culture were identified as the biggest challenges. While these may sound very familiar to those who lead SPHM in an acute care environment, addressing these areas in a home and community care setting often requires a very different approach and at times a different knowledge and skill set.
