THE VALUED VOICE

WHA is collaborating with University of Wisconsin Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (UW ICTR) to support efforts in piloting an evidence-based program, MOVIN (Mobilizing Older adults Via-system-based Intervention), which improves patient ambulation and reduces risk for hospital-acquired disability in older adults.
 
Studies have shown up to 60% of adults aged 65 years or older lose their ability to independently ambulate during a hospital stay. MOVIN’s developers, Barb King, PhD, RN, APRN-BC, FAAN, and Linsey Steege, PhD, created and tested an innovative model of care to address this significant issue.
