October 26th, 2022 – Modeling the Return on Investment for SPHM in the ICU
FREE On-Demand Webinar presented and recorded live October 26th, 2022 from 2 PM – 3 PM Eastern
Overview
Strong evidence has shown that Safe Patient Handling and Mobility (SPHM) reduces patient-handling related injuries among healthcare workers (HCWs). Research also suggests SPHM promotes early mobilization (EM) and helps reduce preventable hospital-acquired complications among intensive care unit (ICU) patients. However, there is limited research on the economic benefits of SPHM, particularly related to patient outcomes. It is therefore difficult for hospitals to accurately estimate return on investment (ROI) for a SPHM program implementation or an expansion. This presentation will summarize the evidence of the effect of SPHM programs on HCWs and patient outcomes. These findings will then be applied to an ROI model for the ICU setting that considers both HCW and patient outcomes.
Results will be described for a structured literature search that focused on the following three key variables: (1) HCW patient-handling related injuries; (2) hospital-acquired conditions, including pressure injuries (PI), ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), and venous thromboembolisms (VTE); and (3) ICU Length of Stay (LOS) and mechanical ventilator (MV) days. Strengths and limitations of the literature will be discussed.
The presentation will apply these findings and discuss assumptions when introducing a case study with an example ROI model for the potential economic benefit of SPHM in an ICU. Presenters will share a sensitivity analysis that demonstrates which factors have the greatest influence on financial outcomes and discuss how inputs and assumptions could be adjusted for different facilities or units.
Objectives – After this session, participants will be able to:
- Establish a Culture of Safety
- Implement and Sustain a Safe Patient Handling and Mobility (SPHM) Program
- Select, Install, and Maintain SPHM Technology

Trang Dang, PhD Candidate
Trang Dang is a trainee in Global Health Economics & Outcomes Research (HEOR) at Baxter, formerly Hillrom. Her PhD concentration is HEOR, with the focus on the use of real-world evidence and real-world data to quantify current clinical and economic burden of diseases/ conditions. She is formally trained in literature review and background search for diverse healthcare topics, including patients’ access to care, patients’ clinical outcomes in ICUs as a result of immobility, and the burden of patients’ caregivers in hospital settings.
Dan Roberts, RN, MBA
Dan Roberts is an experienced business director and clinician having held positions over the past 30 years within Hill-Rom to impact patient and staff safety. His critical care and emergency department background provide a valuable foundation for developing impactful improvements in care delivery.
