Medical Minute: July 2003

Ergonomics

This Medical Minute is brought to you as a public service by KCRG-TV9 and University of Iowa Health Care.


Patients and health care providers at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics are a little safer these days.

University of Iowa Health Care recently acquired more than 600 pieces of ergonomically safe equipment.

This new technology provides health care workers with safer, more effective ways of lifting or moving patients.

It's the largest program of its kind in the country - ensuring the best care possible for patients.
