ForwardEstablishing Mobility as a Nursing Safety Quality Priority in the Hospital: Recorded Webinar
This episode from our Lessons in Nursing Leadership Webinar Series discusses mobility as a nursing safety quality prioirity.
Hospitalized patients generally spend much of their day in bed. Whether patients are in the intensive care unit or other hospital units, immobility and its associated negative consequences may increase the length of stay and hospital-acquired harm, leading to worse patient outcomes.
Similar to strategies employed to reduce hospital harms like falls and pressure injuries, a systematic approach to mobility is necessary to drive desired outcomes. Johns Hopkins Activity and Mobility Promotion has established an eight-step framework that supports the development of a “culture of mobility” in hospitals.
Learning Objectives
- Review the evidence supporting the need for mobility interventions in the acute hospital.
- Detail the Johns Hopkins Activity and Mobility Promotion systematic framework.
- Discuss the importance of standardized mobility assessments and goal setting.
- Consider human and electronic clinical workflow to integrate mobility interventions into practice.
- Share resources available to begin implementing a systematic approach to addressing immobility and realizing improved outcomes.
