LTC Risk Mitigation Series—Bed rails
Product Code: 2503W

Bed rails can create gaps where individuals may become trapped, leading to serious injury or suffocation. A process that requires ongoing patient evaluation and monitoring will result in optimizing bed safety. Many patients go through a period of adjustment to become comfortable with new options. Residents and their families should talk to their healthcare planning team to find out which options are best for them. Please attend this webinar to revisit the risks, benefits, assessment and educational tools for addressing bed rails.

Bed rails are common in Minnesota’s assisted living settings, but improper use can lead to serious risks for residents. Join us for this webinar to learn best practices for bed rail safety, including proper assessment, regulatory guidelines, and strategies to minimize risks. Our expert speaker will share insights on how to balance resident safety with comfort and mobility, ensuring compliance while promoting quality care.
