Definitions
This term is defined by completing an appropriate task associated with the patients objectively rated Current M.O.V.E. Level.
What is the Highest M.O.V.E. Level (HML)?
This M.O.V.E. level is assigned when a patient can walk in the hallway with or without one helper's assistance.
What is M.O.V.E. Level 4?
This row is documented with each episode of activity. The employee providing assistance or supervision of the patient should be the only one documenting this episode.
What is M.O.V.E. Activity Completed?
This new device was designed by Stryker to promote early mobility and reduce risk factors for patients falling out of chairs.
What is the Seated Positioning System (SPS)?
This place is where you can find the Corporate Mobility Policy and Early and Progressive Mobility Guideline.
What is Policy Stat?
This term involves safe mobilization of hemodynamically complex patients through application of standardized inclusion/exclusion criteria with criteria for terminating activities.
What is Early Mobility?
This M.O.V.E. level will be assigned to patients when criteria for medical stability are not met.
What is M.O.V.E. Level 0?
This row auto populates based on documented information from the CML and Activity Completed rows.
What is the Highest M.O.V.E. Level?
This device is used to safely mobilize or transfer patients with the assistance of staff using a buckle and strap wrapped around the patient's middle. It can be made of either cloth for single patient use, or a polyurethane-coating for multiple patient uses (cleaning in-between uses).
What is a gait belt?
Examples of this M.O.V.E. level include:
-Ambulated in room
-Stood at bedside or chair 2+ minutes
What is M.O.V.E. Level 3?
This term involves a progression from passive techniques, to assisted activities, and culminates with active mobility performed by the patient. This starts with in-bed movement, progressing to sitting and standing positions, and finally to walking.
What is Progressive Mobility?
This M.O.V.E. level requires two (2) person assistance to sit on the edge of the bed.
What is M.O.V.E. Level 1?
This row is documented only once within four (4) hours of admission.
What is Prior Level of Function?
This device created by ARJO is used to encourage patients to be active during sitting to standing transfers.
What is a Sera Stedy?
It is the nurse's responsibility to oversee that the patient receives this many episodes of the Highest M.O.V.E. Level per day.
What is three (3)?
This term is defined by patient movement that occurs during any given day in a patient's hospital stay.
What is the Current M.O.V.E. Level?
This M.O.V.E. level is assigned when the patient can stand for two (2) minutes or walk in room with one helper's assistance.
What is M.O.V.E. level 3?
This row describes how the patient tolerated the M.O.V.E. Activity completed. This row is to be documented along with each mobility episode.
What is Activity Response?
This device makes transfers over uneven surfaces a safe and simple procedure. The device can be made of either semi-rigid polyethylene or a vinyl sheet material similar to parachutes.
What is a slide board or transfer sheet?
Examples of this M.O.V.E. level include:
-Turned with assistance
-Bed in chair position/cardiac chair
What is M.O.V.E. Level 1?
This term is a self-rated function based on a patient's ability to move one (1) week prior to hospitalization.
What is Prior Level of Function?
This M.O.V.E. level is assigned when the patient can sit on the edge of the bed with one helper's assistance and can raise at least one leg up against gravity.
What is M.O.V.E. Level 2?
This row is completed within four (4) hours of admission, once per shift with minimum of twice in a calendar day, when the patient's condition changes, or when the patient's level of care changes.
What is the Current M.O.V.E. Level?
This device holds a patient up over the bed in a sling attached to hooks and a motor. These devices usually have specific weight capacities but are extremely useful for complete bed changes and bed transfers for medically unstable patients.
What is a Hoyer/patient lift?
This is an amazing place where you can learn about the M.O.V.E. Protocol, lift equipment, quality initiatives, community resources, gain CE's, and eat fall treats!
What is the Mobility and Fall Prevention Fair?
