Background: Patient mobility reduces complications and reduces length of stay, which improves patient outcomes and throughput. Local Problem: A 44-bed medical unit specializing in patients with neurological diagnoses at a large, urban, Level 1 trauma center experienced decreased patient mobility, resulting in longer length of stay and reduced throughput. The goal for the unit was to increase the number of steps measured in feet ambulated by patients and increase daily discharges. Method: An interdisciplinary team designed and implemented a workflow improvement process. The process initiated consistent use of the Comprehensive Mobility Evaluation Tool (CMET) when patients were admitted to the unit, daily Care Coordination Rounds (CCR...
