lift coordinator
(Enfermera) Supervisora de (prevención de riesgos por) transfer y movilización de pacientes


Explanation:
Es relativamente común en ámbito hospitalario anglosajón la referencia a no lift coordinators en tanto que enfermeras encargadas de la evaluación de riesgos, supervisión de formación y concienciación en relación a programas que buscan evitar que personal enfermero realice tareas inadecuadas (para el profesional) de movilización de pacientes -con el objeto de reducir lesiones lumbares y dorsales entre otras entre personal enfermero. Así, esta actividad se encuadraría en España en relación a funciones de prevención de riesgos laborales. Aunque al menos en España no conozco ningún equivalente funcional, podrían resultar comprensibles expresiones como
(Enfermera) Supervisora de prevención de riesgos por transfer y movilización de pacientes /
(Enfermera) Supervisora del programa de prevención en movilización de pacientes

Lift coordinator, sin el "no" delante, parece aludir en realidad a funciones muy parecidas si no exactamente iguales. En caso de duda, podría obviarse la alusión a prevención de riesgos en la traducción y expresarlo en castellano como
(Enfermera) Supervisora de transfer y movilización de pacientes.
