Clinical Trial Summary

This observational study is designed to adapt, create actionable implementation, and to access market demand of the Mobilizing Older adults Via a systems-based Intervention (MOVIN) toolkit. MOVIN is a program to increase ambulation while hospitalized at non-academic facilities. MOVIN is a unit-based intervention. Therefore all patients on this unit are exposed to the intervention once it is implemented regardless of whether or not they participate in the trial. The study will enroll 40 total hospitalized participants 65 years and older for the duration of their stay.


Clinical Trial Description

Up to 65% of hospitalized older adults will lose the ability to ambulate independently during their hospital stay. Loss of independent ambulation has been identified as a hospital-acquired disability and is a critical patient safety concern, resulting in permanent loss of function for 50% of older adults one-year post discharge. Functional loss is associated with multiple negative outcomes including a 33% increase in new nursing home placement, increase in length of hospital stay, need for home health services, falls, caregiver burden, decreased quality of life, and increased mortality. Given the rapid increase in the elderly population, loss of independent ambulation primarily due to the process of care in hospital settings may significantly increase future healthcare costs and further exacerbate concerns related to patient care quality. Lack of walking during hospitalization has been directly linked to loss of independent ambulation in older adults. Nurses are responsible for promoting and maintaining patient independent mobility. However, our research has identified multiple personal and organizational barriers that prevent nurses from walking patients. We have developed and pilot tested a novel systems based multi-component intervention to improve ambulation of older adult patients, Mobilizing Older adult patients Via a systems-based INtervention (MOVIN). MOVIN is comprised of five components: 1) psychomotor skills training; 2) communication tools; 3) ambulation pathways; 4) ambulation resources; and 5) unit ambulation culture. Our pilot study of MOVIN demonstrated a statistically significant increase in frequency and weekly distance of patient ambulation as well as changes in nursing practice and unit culture. Notably, these changes have been sustained for greater than two years after completion of the study. Our goal is to translate our positive research results into an actionable implementation package that can be used to disseminate MOVIN to hospitals nationwide and improve the quality of care and functional outcomes for older adult patients. In pursuit of this goal, our specific aims are to: 1. Adapt MOVIN and develop and refine a MOVIN toolkit for implementation in a non-academic hospital. 2. Implement MOVIN in an inpatient adult general medical unit in a non-academic hospital with an on-site clinical team leading the intervention and evaluate using the RE-AIM framework to collect preliminary data for a future dissemination study. 3. Assess market demand for the intervention and develop a customer value statement in collaboration with the ICTR Dissemination and Implementation Program. ;
