“…Walking is critical for maintaining functional ability during hospital stay. Promoting acute progressive mobility for patients who are 65 years and older has been shown to improve the following: patients' satisfaction scores; LOS; fall rates; admission to discharge functional status of hospitalized elderly and patients recovering from major surgery (Azuh et al, 2016;Castro, Turcinovic, Platz, Law, 2015;Padula, Hughes, Baumhover, 2009;Pashikanti & Von Ah, 2012;Phelan, Lin, Mitchell, Chaboyer, 2018).…”

“…Targeting physical and occupational therapists to the most impaired patients who take the longest to mobilize and having the nursing team focus on less impaired patients may be a strategy to match “the right provider to the right patient.” Consideration of other staff models is also important. A recent pilot of a “patient mobility assistant” position in a medical intensive care unit demonstrated that trained non‐licensed professionals can mobilize patients safely and effectively (Azuh et al, ). The use of family members (Wyskiel, Weeks, & Marsteller, ) and non‐traditional staff to assist with patient mobility could help too.…”
