AMP-Hospital

Implementing a culture of activity and mobility for patients while in the acute care hospital or inpatient rehabilitation

Michael Friedman, PT, MBA &
Erik Hoyer, MD Introduce AMP-Hospital

IMPROVING OUTCOMES

The Activity & Mobility Promotion program firmly establishes the concept that a systematic approach is beneficial in combating the harms of immobility in our hospitals. Throughout our hospital we have adopted structured quality improvement processes to promote a culture of activity and mobility.

Activity and mobility programs can reduce length of stay, decrease readmissions, and improve patient outcomes. Such programs are an excellent method to drive value “by bending the cost curve” by improving patient outcomes at a lower cost to the hospital.
