Immobility impacts LOS, hospital-acquired harm & patient outcomes. Mobility must be a safety & quality priority — not an afterthought.
Join Johns Hopkins Activity and Mobility Promotion for a FREE webinar:
Establishing Mobility as a Safety Quality Priority in the Hospital
Along with Michael Friedman, PT, MBA and Eleni Flanagan, DNP, MBA, NEA-BC, we’re honored to welcome Chris Thomas, MD, Chief Quality Officer at FMOL Health — bringing a powerful C-suite perspective on making mobility a system-level strategy.

✨ #FlashbackFriday: Why does mobility matter?
Because mobility means:
🚶 Independence
💛 Dignity
📉 Fewer complications
📈 Better functional recovery
In acute care, every early walk and intentional mobility goal changes outcomes.
Join us at the 9th Annual Hospital Activity & Mobility Conference to learn how to make mobility systematic & sustainable.

If JH-HLM goal = 2, you’re saying the patient can’t get OOB—high risk for VTE, delirium, HAPI. Do you mean that?
Ensure accurate assessment + targeted QA/education.

Act with precision: “Up with assist” is a vague task not a mobility plan.
Measure daily (JH-HLM) + set a specific goal (JH-MGC). No measurement = guessing. #CMS #AgeFriendly #HospitalMobility
🚨 “Up with assist” is not a mobility plan.
If you’re not measuring mobility, you’re guessing.
