Activity & Mobility Promotion (AMP)
Patient-centered programs to promote a culture of activity and mobility.
Activity & Mobility Promotion
Changing the Culture of Patient Immobility
Hospitalized patients generally spend much of their day in bed. Whether in the ICU or other hospital units, immobility and its associated negative consequences increase length of stay and hospital-acquired harms, leading to worse patient outcomes. Once at home after hospitalization, patients are often physically more vulnerable, with negative consequences such as increased falls too often resulting in hospital re-admission.
The Activity & Mobility Promotion (AMP) interprofessional program aims to support hospitals and healthcare providers that want to change the culture of patient immobility. AMP provides frontline caregivers and hospital leaders with the tools and support needed to design and implement structured quality improvement processes to successfully increase patient activity and mobility.
