Abstract
Background: The Johns Hopkins Activity and Mobility Program is a systematic approach to measure and improve patient mobility.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between mobility loss and quality outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study design was used. Patients were categorized into 3 groups (gain, loss, no change in mobility) using the Johns Hopkins Highest Level of Mobility (JH-HLM) scores. The association between mobility loss and falls risk, in-hospital mortality, delirium, discharge to a facility, length of stay, and 30 day readmissions were assessed.
Results: Those who lost mobility were more at risk of being a high fall risk, in-hospital mortality, delirium, discharging to a facility, and had 48% longer lengths of stay. There was no association between mobility loss and 30-day readmissions.
Conclusions: Loss of mobility assessed using JH-HLM scores is associated with worse patient outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Nursing Care Quality (JNCQ) is a peer-reviewed journal that provides practicing nurses as well as nurses who have leadership roles in nursing care quality programs with useful information regarding the application of quality principles and concepts in the practice setting. The journal offers a forum for the scholarly discussion of “real world” implementation of quality activities.
