Evaluating a Nurse-Driven Mobility Algorithm for Hospitalized General Medicine Patients: A Pilot Study
Conclusion:
Although the algorithm did not result in high agreement between PTs and RNs, discrepancies were largely in the tiering regarding whether the patient needed supervision versus being independent. The mobility-driven algorithm may be useful to assist nursing staff in determining the appropriate level of mobility for general medicine patients with further refinement.
