As therapists we become excited to see our patients up and in chairs ready for therapy. This helps us to devote more treatment time to the patient if they are already out of bed and ready to go.
Occupational Therapist
The units have identified mobility champions...this is creating dialogue and consistency among the interprofessional team
Nurse
It is obvious the interprofessional team is invested in mobility! The nursing staff jump right in to assist with a transfer when I am not available.
Physiotherapist
Early mobility has helped my patient who has very limited short term memory. He is now being mobilized more than every before! Without MOVE this patient would have fallen through the cracks.
Occupational Therapist
I get a lot of social workers and dietitians and pharmacists asking me to come in and just get the patient up so they can sit down and talk to them, and I have no problem doing that
Nurse
This program gives you hope as a patient that you will get better and recover... I feel more positive and aware of myself and what my body can do!
