Repositioning, Reimagined
One nurse. One device. FEWER INJURIES.
The Simply Lift Patient Repositioning System by Occupational Assistant is the solution that is designed to support caregiver safety, strengthen patient positioning practices, and reduce liability exposure while advancing your facilities safety and quality objectives. While providing every patient in your care with the consistent dignified care they deserve.
The Most Injury-Causing Task in Nursing Now Has a Better Tool
Manual patient repositioning is the #1 workers’ comp claim in nursing, and not being repositioned often enough is the leading cause of hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs). Most solutions on the market require two to four caregivers, specialized mattresses, or a lift team that takes 10 minutes to arrive, meaning patients don’t get moved, nurses get hurt, and hospitals inevitably pay the price.
Simply Lift changes that with one device.
Born From Real Nursing Experiences.
Built for Real Results.
The Simply Lift was developed from years of real experience, by real nurses for real nurses. It slides patients back into position electronically, using your existing hospital beds, without the need for proprietary mattresses or additional staff. It’s safe, simple, effective patient repositioning.
One Caregiver
No lift team required. No waiting. One nurse can complete a full repositioning boost independently.
Works on Existing Beds
Compatible with virtually any hospital mattress. No costly equipment overhaul.
SAFE PATIENT HANDLING
Supports skin protection and pressure redistribution protocols.
A Solution Built for Everyone in The Room
The Evidence Speaks for Itself
Manual patient repositioning costs U.S. hospitals more than $37 billion every year. 2.5 million patients develop HAPIs each year, and CMS doesn’t reimburse a single dollar of HAPI treatment costs, making every case a direct financial loss.
The injury burden on nursing staff is equally severe. In terms of lost-time cases, it is considered more hazardous to work in a hospital than in construction. Registered nurses and nursing staff experience more than 35,000 back and musculoskeletal injuries each year, severe enough to require an average of 7 to 21 days away from work per incident. This doesn’t even capture the injuries suffered by nursing staff who continue to work on modified duty, suggesting the problem is much deeper than the surface shows. In fact, 8 out of 10 nurses report frequently working through musculoskeletal pain.
When hospitals adopt automated repositioning systems, the outcomes are consistent and measurable. Facilities using a single-caregiver repositioning system have documented a 25% reduction in HAPI incidents, a 75% reduction in nursing disability claims, and over 2.3 hours of nursing time saved per shift. For a 200-bed hospital, that translates to an estimated $1.63 million in annual savings against a device investment that pays back in approximately 9 months.
The liability picture is equally clear.
More than 17,000 pressure ulcer lawsuits are filed every year in the U.S. — with an average settlement of $500,000 per case — and with safe patient handling laws now active in 11+ states, the cost of inaction is no longer just theoretical.
Simply Lift was built to close this gap through a single-nurse device that works on your existing beds from day one.
