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 hall (or in room equal to hallway distance) with or without a device/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/Sage 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, Early and Progressive Mobility Guideline, and the Safe Patient Handling 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. Performing any appropriate activity associated with the patient's Current M.O.V.E. Level (or a higher M.O.V.E. Level) means that the patient completed one of these.
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?
This new device from ARJO is a fall recovery air mattress with up to 5 air chambers to lift patients from the floor and keep their spine aligned or at a 30-degree angle for easier breathing. It is best used with a lateral transfer sheet. It is kept in a cart in the equipment room on 6W currently.
What is the FloJac?
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 is assigned when patients are capable of in-bed mobility; including intubated or non-intubated hemodynamically stable patients that have other no contraindications for mobility.
What is M.O.V.E. Level 1?
This row is documented only once within four (4) hours of admission. It is based on the patient's ability to move one (1) week prior to hospitalization.
What is Prior Level of Function?
This device created by ARJO is used to encourage patients to be active during sitting to standing transfers. This device is mobile and does not a require battery.
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 episode(s) per day.
What is three (3)?
This is a rating of the patient's current ability to move in their environment. This level guides clinicians as they assist with mobility activities and interventions.
What is the Current M.O.V.E. Level?
This M.O.V.E. level is assigned when the patient can stand 2 minutes, take steps to a chair, or walk in room with or without a device/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 across 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
-Range of motion
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 side of bed and hold leg(s) 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. It is a rating of the patient's current ability to move in their environment.
What is the Current M.O.V.E. Level row?
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 patients with poor mobility capabilities or higher BMIs.
What is a Hoyer/patient lift?
This is an amazing annual event where you can learn about the M.O.V.E. Protocol, how to use equipment related to mobilizing patients, safe patient handling techniques, PT and OT roles, fall prevention tools, gain educational credits, and have a snack! These events are offered at all three campuses in Central Indiana.
What is the Mobility and Fall Prevention Fair?
