Understanding the many ways mobility can impact healthcare safety initiatives is crucial for the successful implementation of a safe patient mobilization program, and to achieve significant employee injury reduction with meaningful patient outcomes.
Engagement, not sustainability, offers a more accurate measure of success when evaluating a safe patient handling and mobilization program. The engaged SPM program focuses on collaboration opportunities and integrates a safe mobilization focus complementary to other hospital initiatives impacted by purposeful mobility.
