16-09 - Getting Residents out of Wheeled Chairs

< All Webinars

GUEST: Diana Waugh, BSN, RN, CDP | Waugh Consulting, LLC

We all know that wheels were put on chairs for transportation. That certainly makes sense and provides people with any limitation on their ability to get from point A to point B. How is it then that individuals who reside in many communities dedicated to caring, spend the vast majority of their time awake sitting in a wheeled chair? Something has gone awry with the application of a very specialized piece of equipment. Wheeled chairs were never meant as seating devices. But then we all know that. We can also state all of the negative effects of having people sitting in a wheeled chair… but there are still way too many people doing just that. There’s a mismatch between what we know and what we practice. We will look at the underlying change in belief that must occur to move to a new culture where wheeled chairs become simply a mode of transportation, and are unoccupied most of the time.
