 A
Case Study
One facility that implemented the O'Shea System studied the
results and documented that**:
" Total workers' compensation costs for patient handling
claims decreased 95%.
"
Average cost of a patient-handling claim declined 84%.
"
Number of patient handling claims decreased 70%.
"
Average number of days lost per patient handling claim dropped
81%.
Other significant results:
" Improved patient quality care with a reduction in skin
tears and bruising.
" Reduced pain relief needed for hospice patients.
" Staff stating they were less fatigued at the end of
the working day.
" Reduced number of sick days for staff.
" Increased staff satisfaction.
" Cost effective work practices with all staff being
able to carry out patient handling tasks.
