Projects
Safe Transfer Practice. Championed consistent use of ceiling lifts and 2-person technique after reviewing where transfer injuries occurred on the unit. Roughly 2,400 assisted transfers in a year produced zero patient or staff injuries.
Fall Risk Flagging. Introduced a habit of flagging footwear, equipment, and toileting patterns to nursing during handover rather than only after an incident. Unit falls fell from 19 to 6 a year across the rehabilitation service.
Float Orientation Cards. Wrote a one-page card for each of 5 units covering layout, supply locations, and unit-specific routines, for aides covering unfamiliar areas. New float aides now become useful within about 30 minutes rather than a full shift.
