Michael Friedman, PT, MBA

Bring all your questions! Special focus on use of @HopkinsAMP tools in setting patient #mobility goals accurately JH-MGC, JH-HLM and AM-PAC. We look forward to continuing the conversation and answering as many questions as we can!!

Immobility impacts LOS, hospital-acquired harm & patient outcomes. Mobility must be a safety & quality priority — not an afterthought. Join Johns Hopkins Activity and Mobility Promotion for a FREE webinar: Establishing Mobility as a Safety Quality Priority in the Hospital Along with Michael Friedman, PT, MBA and Eleni Flanagan, DNP, MBA, NEA-BC, we’re honored to welcome Chris Thomas, MD, Chief Quality Officer at FMOL Health — bringing a powerful C-suite perspective on making mobility a system-level strategy. 📆 March 10, 2026 🕛 12–1 PM EST 🔗 lnkd.in/eEmqnxSH #PatientSafety #HealthcareQuality #HospitalLeadership

✨ #FlashbackFriday: Why does mobility matter? Because mobility means: 🚶 Independence 💛 Dignity 📉 Fewer complications 📈 Better functional recovery In acute care, every early walk and intentional mobility goal changes outcomes. Join us at the 9th Annual Hospital Activity & Mobility Conference to learn how to make mobility systematic & sustainable. 🎟 Use code 26AMPFriendsFam for 25% off. #HospitalMobility #AcuteCare #Rehab #Nursing #PT #OT

This is what advancing ICU rehab looks like! Early activity reduces delirium, ICU-AW, pressure injuries & LOS, while improving outcomes and quality of life. Ready to practice like this? Get ICU Rehab Certified⏰ 1 day left to save $275 Bring your team!👉 bit.ly/JHCARE-ICU

If JH-HLM goal = 2, you’re saying the patient can’t get OOB—high risk for VTE, delirium, HAPI. Do you mean that? Ensure accurate assessment + targeted QA/education. Mon, Feb 23 (free): JH Mobility Tools—Correct Use and Common Errors. #QualitySafety ijhn-education.org/node/21781

Act with precision: “Up with assist” is a vague task not a mobility plan. Measure daily (JH-HLM) + set a specific goal (JH-MGC). No measurement = guessing. #CMS #AgeFriendly #HospitalMobility

Don’t just meet #CMS #AgeFriendly #mobility reporting requirements—exceed them. Set a daily, patient-specific mobility goal using the Johns Hopkins Mobility Goal Calculator (JH-MGC) to drive clinical, #QualitySafety, and operational results across the #hospital.

📊 JH-AMP Research Highlight Individualized mobility goals—created with a goal calculator—increase patient mobility on medical nursing units. 💪🚶‍♀️ Small changes.
