The Effectiveness of Hospital in Motion, a Multidimensional Implementation Project to Improve Patients' Movement Behavior During Hospitalization.

CONCLUSION: The implementation of the multidimensional project Hospital in Motion was associated with patients who were hospitalized spending less time lying in bed and with a reduced number of discharges to a rehabilitation setting.
IMPACT: Inpatient movement behavior can be influenced by multidimensional interventions. Programs implementing interventions that specifically focus on improving time spent moving, in addition to decreasing time spent lying, are recommended.
