N2  - 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.
