BOOSTing patient mobility and function on a general medical unit by enhancing interprofessional care

Abstract Low mobility during hospitalization remains prevalent despite associated negative consequences. The goal of this quality improvement (QI) project was to increase patient mobility and function by adding a physical therapist (PT) to an existing interprofessional care team. A mobility technici...
