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.
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:

| MOVIN | Other | MOVIN is a multi-component unit-based intervention comprised of five components that are implemented simultaneously in a hospital unit. The five components are: 1) psychomotor skills training, 2) unit ambulation culture, 3) communication, 4) resources, 5) ambulation environment. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in gait speed | A 4 meter walk test will be conducted on admission to the study, discharge from the hospital and at 3 months post discharge in the subjects home or the hospital or clinic. A trained member of the research team will conduct the gait speed test. Interrater reliability for the 4 meter walk test will be conducted between all members of the research team prior to collecting gait speed data on study participants. Gait Speed is a physical performance measure identified as a sensitive clinical indicator of health, mortality, healthcare utilization, and independence in ambulation, and is feasible to test in hospitalized older adults. Change scores will be calculated as the difference between gait speeds measured at each of these time points. | Hospital admission, hospital discharge, 3 months post-discharge; Up to 4 months total |
| Change in Self-report on Katz Activity of Daily Living (ADL) Index | A trained member of the research team will collect patients self-report of ADLs on admission to the study, discharge from the hospital, by phone at 1 month post intervention, and in person at the 3 month post intervention visit. The Katz ADL Index is a self-report scale that measures five ADL on three levels (independent, requiring assistance of another and unable to do). The scale demonstrates excellent reliability and predictive validity, and is sensitive to change in hospital settings. Change scores will be calculated as the difference between gait speeds measured at each of these time points. | Hospital admission, hospital discharge, 1 month post-discharge, 3 months post-discharge; Up to 4 months total |
| Change in Life Space Assessment | A trained member of the research team will collect patients self-report on Life Space at admission to the study, discharge from the hospital, by phone at 1 month post intervention, and in person at the 3 month post intervention visit. The UAB Life Space Assessment: is a self-report scale of ambulation that measures spaces patients' move in, the frequency of moving into those spaces, and dependency in moving into those spaces. This scale has demonstrated reliability and predictive validity and sensitivity to change after hospital stay. Change scores will be calculated as the difference between gait speeds measured at each of these time points. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Patient Experience with Ambulation | Brief interviews will be conducted to further examine and understand the patient experience with ambulation on the inpatient unit. | 1 month post-discharge; Up to 2 months total |

Patients admitted to the study intervention unit will be recruited to evaluate the implementation of MOVIN based on Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation and Maintenance (RE-AIM framework). Patients (N=40) will be recruited during pre (n=20) and post (n=20)-intervention periods to provide an evaluation of effectiveness. Inclusion criteria for patients will consist of age 65 years or older, able to walk with or without assistance, have an ambulation order, and able to speak and understand English.
