TEXT VERSION OF SLIDE: Title: WYANDOT COUNTY NURSING HOME -- RESULTS Type: Text Slide with Image Content: Outcome No back injuries since 1997 Decreased workers compensation Less turnover A total investment of $155,000 resulted in no back injuries during the past 5 years. [Image of workers using lifting equipment to move resident.] Speaker Notes: While most nursing homes can not invest this much money, nor do they necessarily need to as we will see in the next example, the point of this example is the company saw a return on their investment within two years. They have eliminated most injuries, decreased workers comp costs, decreased turnover and improved patient care.
