Program Description:
University Hospitals (UH) is the largest network of hospitals, doctors and surgeons in Cleveland and Northeast Ohio. Through mergers and acquisitions, UH has continued to grow and expand its mission. One of the challenges of growth includes conflicting and duplicate policies, contributing to clinical
and operational risk impacting employees and patients alike. As part of UH’s journey towards Zero Harm, UH took key steps to mitigate this risk through the implementation of PolicyStat and the adoption of the Policy Management Capability Model. The Policy Management Capability Model is organized into five components that outline an iterative, continuous improvement process to achieve
Principled Performance in policy management. UH will share how its structure, process, and outcomes have been transformed through this model, document management software and data to advance our culture of safety.

Program Description:
Hospitalized patients spend most of their day in bed. Immobility can lead to many negative patient outcomes such as increased length of stay, falls, pressure ulcers, hospital acquired infections etc. This can be costly to an organization and affect patient satisfaction. Shifting to a culture of mobility can be challenging due to staffing levels, attitudes towards mobility, lack of equipment, patient motivation factors, etc. Attend this webinar and learn how a level 1 trauma center utilized the model for improvement to begin to shift to a culture of mobility. Their program includes peer leaders on each unit, a multidisciplinary work group and Mobility Aides. Since inception of the mobility aide pilot program, ambulation has increased by 287% on the pilot unit and the organization is now working to spread this program hospital wide.
