Duke Health: Moving from SPH to SPHM Tamara James, MA, CPE, CSPHP Ergonomics Director Occupational & Environmental Safety Office Duke University & Duke Health
Title Objectives 1. Discuss the background of SPH at Duke and the motivation for moving to SPHM. 2. Identify strategies to gain buy-in for SPHM programs. 3. Understand options and the value of including mobility assessments in SPHM programs. 2018 EHSSENTIALS
Title Background 3 Hospitals (~1500 beds) Level 1 Teaching Hospital - Durham 2 community hospitals - Raleigh and Durham >68,000 admissions 2018 EHSSENTIALS
Title Background Nearly 400 clinics statewide >3.6 million outpatient visits 2018 EHSSENTIALS
Title Workforce Profile Nurses growing older average age is 50 years old Nursing shortage Workload, burnout retirements nursing school enrollment 2018 EHSSENTIALS
Title Patient Profile 1 out of every 2 adults has chronic illness >80% over age 65 have at least one 1 in every 3 adults obese 1 in 5 youth obese (BMI>30) 7.4 million people have mobility impairments Baby Boomers - every 7 seconds one turns 50 2018 EHSSENTIALS
Title SPH at Duke Partnership Ergonomics and Nursing Selling point: Patient satisfaction (Press Ganey) Implemented in 2004 in adult in-patient units Various types of equipment available Expansion two sister hospitals radiology, labor & delivery, pediatrics, OR, periop & pacu, ED, morgue 2018 EHSSENTIALS

Title Early Mobilization Benefits Mobilizing patients earlier results in positive patient outcomes: reduced length of stay fewer ICU readmissions decreased ventilation duration fewer days of bed rest improved walking distance (Morris, et al. 2008; Perme, et al. 2014) 2018 EHSSENTIALS
Title Mobility Status Benefits Mobility status important Patient care is bed-centric Rapidly lose muscle mass/deconditioned Must know mobility status to avoid falls 2018 EHSSENTIALS
Title Mobility Assessments Many patient mobility assessment tools developed (Boynton, et al. 2014) Identify/encourage use of appropriate patient lifts to reduce healthcare worker injuries (Flanders, et al. 2009) 2018 EHSSENTIALS
Title Mobility Assessments Current state of Mobility Assessments? Benchmarking Survey Conducted by Duke Nursing and Ergonomics 2018 EHSSENTIALS
Title Mobility Assessment Survey January June, 2015 Distribution Social Media Electronic Newsletters Association Membership Emails Word of Mouth 2018 EHSSENTIALS
