An interdisciplinary team of clinical nurses, patient care technicians, nurse leaders, HBS, PT, and quality partnered to improve mobility across inpatient units at the San Rafael Medical Center. The mobility workgroup merged with the Falls Committee, and the team was able to improve mobility and exceed the mobility goal of 75%.
The clinical nurse team: Tim Jackson, BSN, RN; Virginia Breslo, BSN, RN, Shirley Hasson, BSN, RN, Vivi Chang, BSN, RN; Ashley Thompson-Brundidge, MSN, RN; Arleen Velasco, BSN, RN; and Sarah Villareal, MSN, RN created materials and educated colleagues on CLOF, documentation requirements, inclusion and exclusion criteria, and championed the work as rounders.
