MOVIN Program Promotes Ambulation to Fight Loss of Function Among Older Hospital Patients

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.
 
Learn more about the MOVIN initiative here. Contact WHA Clinical Quality Improvement Advisor Jill Lindwall or Chief Quality Officer Nadine Allen with questions or to enroll in the MOVIN program.
