Review of the use of physical restraints and lap belts with wheelchair users

June 24th, 2009


Review of the use of physical restraints and lap belts with wheelchair users

Wheelchair-related physical restraints, lap belts, and other alternatives are intended to provide safe and adequate seating and mobility for individuals using wheelchairs. Physical restraints and lap belts are also helpful for positioning people in their wheelchairs to reduce the risk of injury during wheelchair tips and falls. However, when used improperly or in ways other than intended, injury or even death can result. Although widely prescribed, little evidence is available to direct professionals on the appropriate use of these restraints and lap belts and for whom these restraints are indicated. The purpose of this study was to conduct a review of available literature from 1966-2006 to identify the risks and benefits associated with lap belts while seated in wheelchairs. Twenty-five studies that met the inclusion criteria were reviewed. Nine studies reported the frequency of asphyxial deaths caused by physical restraints, nine studies reported the long-term complication and indirect adverse effects of physical restraints and lap-belt use, and seven studies reported the benefits of physical restraints and lap belts with individuals using medicare power wheelchairs, handicap scooters. Despite the weak evidence, the results suggest a considerable number of deaths from asphyxia caused by the use of physical restraints occurred each year in the U.S. The majority of the deaths occurred in nursing homes, followed by hospitals, and then the home of the person. Most deaths occurred while persons were restrained in wheelchairs or beds. Based on that, caution needs to be exercised when using restraints or positioning belts. In addition, other seating and environment alternatives should be explored prior to using restraints or positioning belts, such as power wheelchair seating options. Positioning belts may reduce risk of falls from wheelchairs and should be given careful consideration, but caution should be exercised if the individual cannot open the latch independently. Also, the duration of use of the physical restraint should be limited. Therefore, several factors should be considered when devising a better quality of physical-restraint services provided by health care professionals. These efforts can lead to improved safety and quality of life for individuals who use wheelchairs

5 Essential Ingredients of a Successful Online Work at Home Business

5 Essential Ingredients of a Successful Online Work at Home Business

5 Essential Ingredients of a Successful Online Work at Starscapes.com business opportunity by: Carolyn Erickson
The internet changes daily as far as what works and what doesn’t when it comes to making money online.
If you are new to work at home online businesses, your head can spin with all the hype, sales pitches , and outright lies as far as the reality of starting up an online home based business.
There are however a few things to look for in your search for a work at home business that can become some nice additional income, or even better, your “job”. Working at home, generating $1000 a day is far from what I call a “job”.
To help ease your frustration, and point you in the right direction for what you should be looking for in today’s online marketplace, the following summarizes the 5 essential ingredients in a winning work at home online business opportunity.
Later in this brief overview, I will offer a “secret” to online success that is rarely mentioned in the many articles written on the subject.
1. SYSTEM- This may be the most crucial item to your success. You need a System that generates prospects, educates them on your business opportunity, sorts and weeds out those that are not interested in your offer, then closes the sale at a conversion rate that ensures profitability. The System must be as automated as possible so you aren’t spending hours cold calling or following up with people that are probably not interested, then trying to use your sales closing skills to make a sale.
Think of the successful off line businesses such as McDonalds, Tim Hortons or Subway. Do you think they could duplicate those businesses all over the country, setting up new franchise owners to run these businesses, without a SYSTEM that works?
2. BIG Profits- This is important as the advertising needed to result in sales can be quite costly. For some $1000 price point business programs, it isn’t unusual to spend $200, $400 or even $600 to make that $1000 sale. Of course, there are ways to also spend $0 in advertising, but the reality is advertising is often on the range where to make $1, you may need to spend $0.40. Your profit is still $0.60. Would you do that over and over if you had a automated system in place to make this happen? Big Profits allows enough profit so your advertising cost is well covered by your selling price. You can’t do much advertising to make a profit on selling a $20 ebook for example.
3. Hot Products- Yes, the product must be tangible and have use and value. There are many new business opportunities that offer $75,000 or more worth of downloadable products that sell for $1000. That’s pretty HOT, and full of value. Having a product that can be downloaded, means NO shipping. Now that is just way too easy.
4. Leads and Traffic- This is probably the most perplexing for most new work at home business owners. An online business will never make any money without a source of leads (prospects). The key to providing leads to an online business is they need to be targeted.
This means you need to advertise to a niche market of people looking for exactly what your offers. Seems so simple a concept, but so may people struggle in building their prospect list.
5. Support and Training- as with any business start up, you need to learn your work at home online business program.Make sure that your business program has ample training and resources so you know exactly what to do to get those prospects to your System. This is not always easy to figure out when doing your due diligence on an offer.
As a suggestion, make sure you ask for examples of where and how you will advertise. Also ask where will you get the wording for the ads,who will write the ad copy and the followup messages, what the conversion rates are for your system. If your sponsor can’t provide good answers, then they may not be that successful themselves.
This is just a brief overview of what today’s online business programs need to cut through the many offers out there and make your business stand out to others.
Earlier I mentioned I’d offer a “secret” to successful online work at home business programs that is rarely mentioned in the various sales pitches. The true secret just might be you.
Most people do not realize they are starting up a real business. There will be ups and downs, profitability may not come overnight, or you may expect riches in the first few days.
I am sure some people have had such success, but most starting out, very likely start with leads, no prior list of prospects, and a small advertising budget. You then need to make good decisions to leverage your sales to grow your business.
The best way to accomplish an online business start up is with the very best automated SYSTEM. Then you can spend most of your time on advertising and growing your prospect list- leaving the rest to the system to close sales which will deliver you paying customers. Then you can train your new customers to do what you know how to do!

Wheelchairs, walkers, and canes: what does Medicare pay for, and who benefits?

medical scooters role in the distribution of mobility-related assistive technology has not been well documented, yet rapid growth and regional variation in spending, and concerns over “in-the-home” coverage criteria, highlight the need for facts. Using the 2001 Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey, we find that 6.2 percent percent of beneficiaries obtained mobility assistive technology under the Medicare durable medical equipment (DME) benefit. These beneficiaries were disproportionately poor, disabled, and users of both acute and postacute services. Average per item spending ranged from $52 for canes to $6,208 for medicare power wheelchairs. Among beneficiaries who acquired such technology through the DME benefit, these devices comprised just 2 percent of overall Medicare spending.

Are you stepping out into success?

June 16th, 2009

Are you stepping out into success?

Many of us think of applying the pressure as failing. ‘The pressure is coming. Oh my gosh! What

am I going to do? The pressure is coming.’ But pressure doesn’t need to be a negative: I love

this quote.

Pressure is a word that is misused in our vocabulary. When you start thinking of pressure, it’s

because you started to think of failure. Tommy Lasorda

When you stop and think about what happens in life, pressure is being applied constantly in

many different arenas. An example would be rush hour traffic that puts more and more pressure

on the highways. As the population grows more and more pressure is added. What happens? Do we,

as a society, give up and say ‘oh, well. Too Bad? It’s just going to take you that much longer

to transit into work’? Your commute time, instead of being an hour and a half, is going to be 2

hours. And in 3 years from now, it’s going to be 4 hours. Or do we take the action, as a

society, as a city, as a person and do something to relieve that pressure? Yes we do something

that will alleviate the pressure for all of that traffic coming into the downtown core.

We as a society, as a city, step into success. We do something to alleviate that pressure. We

can learn to apply that concept in our life. Instead of taking a look at the pressure as a bad

thing we can use it to build something new, a bridge to our future. Do we do what Tommy Lasorda

said-misuse that word ‘pressure’ and think of it as ‘oh, I’m going to fail, I’m going to fail’

and then give up? - or do we CHOOSE to do something different and step into our own success?

We all have habits. What is your ‘it’? What is the ‘it’ that stops you? When you start to feel

that pressure, what do you do? Next time that happens, I want you to stop and think, ‘what am I

automatically doing here’? Then decide to do something different in order to get a different

result.

When I was first introduced to this concept, I did not recognize what habit I fell into until I

was all the way in it. Stress eating was one of the things I used to do. As I learn to

recognize where that pressure point is, what my habit is, what my ‘it’ is, I, can learn how to

change it, how to react differently.

I just watched the movie ‘What the Bleep?! - Down the Rabbit Hole’. One of the concepts in the

movie is that we, as human beings, are bombarded every second with 400 billion bits of

information. We only process 2000, therefore we need to choose carefully which bits we pay

attention too. When we succumb to the pressure and fall into a negative habit, like I used to

when I was stress eating, we are selecting only a narrow negative portion of information from

the 4 billion bits..

I have decided that I am going to choose a different 2,000 bits of information. It really is

just a choice.. We need to recognize what our habits, and that we can change our habits.

Millions of people have learned how to stop the stress eating habit. Millions of people have

learned how to quit smoking. Millions and millions of people have learned how to make their

life and Starscapes.com money making opportunity better, how to

step into success. If they can do it, I can do it. If I can do it, you can do it. It’s all just

a simple choice, to make a different decision.

If you are a parent ask yourself, if you choose non-success habits, what are the habits and

passions that you are creating in your children? Are you creating a generational curse or a

generational legacy? Another great quote is “children have never been good at listening to

their elders. But they have never failed to imitate them”. by James Baldwin. Even if you aren’t

a parent what about the influence you have on the people around you?

We need to learn to recognize when we are backing off from pressure, when we are moving into

the habits that are not success habits (the ones that we need to change). We also need to

recognize the habits that we have that are good, that are leading us towards success, leading

us to our financial freedom. We need to be aware so that we can make changes in our negative

habits and reinforce our positive habits.

We need to learn to recognize that when we wish for something, ask for something, pray for

something or when we say affirmations for something, it’s not going to just happen. It’s not

going to be handed to us on a silver platter. One of my affirmations is “I am building a team

of dream achievers” Now, I know that that is going to take patience and perseverance and that

this whole team of dream achievers are not just going to be dumped in my lap. I have to go

looking for them and attract them into my life.

As I go down the personal development journey and build my money

making opportunities from home I come up against pressure points all the time. When I think

back to the pressure points in my life last year at this time versus this year - whoa! - last

year’s ones seem really simple now. What happens? We are not given exactly what we want right

off the bat. But we are given the opportunity to develop the skills so that we get better. On

my journey, I am becoming a better team leader. I am practicing my patience and my perseverance

in my own learning so that I become that better learner that attracts, using the Law of Cause

and Effect, that team of dream achievers, the team of business builders.

When that pressure is applied in our lives, patience and perseverance, is what we need in order

to grow through that pressure point. Once we do grow and find different habits to allow us to

get past that pressure point, to allow us to develop the skills, to learn those new things that

we need to learn, we come to a better place and we can handle more pressure. We have new

skills. We know something different. We react in a different away. We remain patient. We

practice the perseverance and can step into success.

Are you applying enough pressure? Are you stepping out into success? Take a look at your

habits. What do you do when the pressure hits? Are you giving yourself the opportunity to

develop a new skill, to become even better than you already are? I would love to hear about

those experiences.. Send me an email at Carla at retirewithcarla.com or give me a phone call at

(778) 835-4032 and let me know, what are the habits that you’ve come across? What are some of

the things that you have done differently?
