Some of these clinical syndromes, such as mood, personality, impulse control and eating disorders can pose significant threat to the safety of these individuals and can interfere with their willingness and ability to adhere to life-sustaining treatment.

However, a focus on safety is vital to a participant s long-term health. By educating participants about safety concerns and protocols, therapists and program managers can ensure that participants with disabilities gain the long-term benefits of an active lifestyle. B: TIPS ON COORDINATING A SAFE DISCHARGE PLAN Yadira Roman, BSW, MSCC, Social Worker/Medical Care Manager, SCI Unit, MossRehab It is crucial to establish a relationship between patients, families and team members in order to truly assess the existing social family supports.

E: USE OF TECHNOLOGY FOR SAFE AND EARLY PATIENT MOBILIZATION FOLLOWING SPINAL CORD INJURY Naomi Greenberg, PT, DPT, GCS, ATP, Physical Therapist, SCI Team Leader, MossRehab The concept of safe patient handling is a significant concern for many healthcare organizations in order to prevent injuries to both patients and staff members. The design of newer technology allows for the development of innovative treatment techniques for early mobilization of patients after a spinal cord injury. By incorporating technology into therapy sessions, therapists and nurses can find various means to increase patients functional skills in order to facilitate a safe discharge home.
