Episode 318: Early Mobility for Hospitalized Patients
We put into effect a program that supports guaranteed mobilization of every patient at least twice a day, which is such a huge change from where we were before, where patients were maybe getting out of bed just to go to the bathroom or maybe just to sit in the chair for one meal a day. So it really had a huge impact on overall mobility,” Jennifer Pouliot, MSN, RN, OCN®, clinical program director of oncology safety and quality at Mount Sinai Health System in New York, NY, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about the benefits of mobility in hospitalized patients with cancer.
