      abstract = {This paper investigates the implementation of an  intervention to improve patient mobility in hospital  settings, addressing the lack of standardized  recommendations for inpatient exercise and the associated  risks of immobility. Retrospective chart reviews from  January 1st to January 31st, 2023, at Community Medical  Center's Progressive Care Unit (PCU) were conducted to  establish a baseline for mobility assessments and activity  levels. Findings revealed that while 82.14% of patients had  mobility assessments charted, only 27.68% had correlating  activity levels documented, falling short of the targeted  75%. The project highlights the importance of accurate  charting and the need for nurse education to ensure  alignment between assessments and activities. Moving  forward, the data collected will serve as a benchmark for  assessing the effectiveness of future interventions aimed  at improving patient mobility and outcomes in hospital  settings.},
