Aggregating Patient Safety and Status Information in the Electronic Health Record to Support Time-Sensitive Mobility Interventions in the Intensive Care Unit: Protocol for the Design and Testing of a Clinical Decision Support Tool.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients who require intensive care unit (ICU) care frequently develop hospital-acquired functional decline, defined as a new or worsening loss of ability to perform self-care activities that is associated with prolonged immobility. This morbidity may persist for months to years after hospitalization but is potentially preventable through initiating mobility in the ICU using a multidisciplinary, evidence-based intervention to maintain functional status. While guidelines for ICU physical activity exist, timely identification of patients suitable for activity interventions is an ongoing challenge due to the dynamic nature of critical illness and the number of locations in the electronic health record (EHR) that clinicians need to click in and out of to synthesize patient d
