2020年7月2日 · This article introduces the Bedside Mobility Assessment Tool 2.0 (BMAT 2.0), revised from BMAT 1.0, which was created to identify patient mobility function deficits and guide the healthcare team in selecting equipment to safely handle and mobilize patients.

The BMAT is primarily a nurse-driven mobility assessment tool created to not be overly prescriptive. BMAT was validated and determined to be reliable based on years of clinical utility studies and research in various settings across the continuum of care.

The BMAT is a tool designed for nurses to assess patient mobility in acute care. The BMAT allows nurses (and other healthcare workers) to determine the appropriate patient handling and mobility equipment or device to safely move or mobilize the patient.

BMAT aligns with the American Nurses As-sociation’s (ANA’s) Safe Patient Handling and Mobility: Interprofessional National Standards Across the Care Continuum by promoting mobilization techniques. The tool promotes healthcare worker safety and early and fre-quent mobilization, which improves patient safety.

Understand the benefit of assessing a patient’s mobility status. Review the development of the Bedside Mobility Assessment Tool (BMAT). Discuss the rationale for using a nurse driven mobility assessment. Summarize how to implement the Bedside Mobility Assessment Tool (BMAT) and its link to SPHM practices.

Banner Mobility Assessment Tool At Banner Health, we developed the Banner Mobility Assessment Tool (BMAT) to be used as a nurse-driven bedside assessment of patient mobility. It walks the patient through a four-step func-tional task list and identifies the mobility level the patient can achieve (such as mobility level 1).

This article introduces the latest Bedside Mobility Assessment Tool 2.0 (BMAT 2.0), which addresses immobility through a simple, functional assessment and provides equipment recommendations for safely handling and mobilizing patients.
