Self-Organization of Interprofessional Staff to Improve Mobility of Hospitalized Patients with STRIDE: a Complexity Science-Informed Qualitative Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Inpatient mobility programs can help older adults maintain function during hospitalization. Changing hospital practice can be complex and require engagement of various staff levels and disciplines; however, we know little about how interprofessional teams organize around implementing such interventions. Complexity science can inform approaches to understanding and improving multidisciplinary collaboration to implement clinical programs.

Objective

To examine, through a complexity science lens, how clinical staff's understanding about roles in promoting inpatient mobility evolved during implementation of the STRIDE (assiSTed eaRly mobIlity for hospitalizeD older vEterans) hospital mobility program.

Design

Qualitative study using semi-structured interviews.
