Mobility champions consist of a multidisciplinary team of registered nurses (RNs) and restorative care assistants (RCAs) who provide staff education and led the implementation of an early mobilization program. Team-based mobility initiatives have been shown to be effective in improving mobilization among high-acuity patient populations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Following the implementation of the mobility champions, more than 88% of patients were mobilized at least twice per day; additional analysis correlated mobility frequency with improved disposition after hospitalization.
