A safe patient transfer is about more than getting someone from the bed to a standing position. The bed height, patient’s mobility, caregiver position, floor space and transfer technique all affect safety. An adjustable bed can make positioning easier, but it does not replace proper transfer training.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
