Our research involves investigating
nurse usage of the Hoyer Patient Lift within the healthcare industry.
Currently, new technology and equipment are introduced regularly to the
healthcare industry and it is important to capture the response, acceptance,
and overall adaptation of new technological advancements amongst healthcare
personnel. Now that we’ve gained an understanding of the hydraulic systems
included in the composition of the Lift, the advancements in the current design
of the Lift, and current usage, our inquiries have segued into how new
technology is introduced and adapted into healthcare facilities. Many innovations
have been made with technology to reduce the occurrence and risk of
musculoskeletal disorders on the job. It seems as though many new advancements
are made, but the actual purchasing, training, and utilization thereof by these
healthcare facilities does not match the same vigor. We are hoping to answer
why that is. Any significant discovery will help innovators and manufacturers
of such technologies know what approach to use when introducing new technology
to the healthcare industry and how to gain the response, enthusiasm, and
adaptation of their products to the end users they aim to help.
