Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

659
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Geriatric Medicine
    • Hospital Patient Care

    Background:

    • Hospitalized older adults are at risk for functional decline.
    • Maintaining mobility is crucial for preventing adverse discharge outcomes.
    • Existing mobility protocols may benefit from enhanced support.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the impact of a mobility champion on functional decline in hospitalized older adults.
    • To assess if adding a mobility champion affects discharge disposition.
    • To determine the effectiveness of a mobility champion within a progressive mobility protocol.

    Main Methods:

    • An evidence-based initiative was implemented on a medical-surgical telemetry unit.
    • Volunteering patient care associates were trained as mobility champions.
    • Ambulatory older adults (Level 5) with a progressive mobility order were included.

    Main Results:

    • Patients engaged with mobility champions showed a reduced likelihood of referral to inpatient rehabilitation.
    • This suggests a positive effect on maintaining functional abilities.
    • The intervention potentially prevented discharge to a higher level of care due to functional decline.

    Conclusions:

    • Mobility is essential for maintaining functional abilities in hospitalized older adults.
    • Mobility interventions can significantly influence post-discharge disposition.
    • The role of a mobility champion is vital in optimizing patient outcomes and preventing functional decline.
