It clarifies how to perform assessments and determine pass or fail; the nurse’s role in assessing, strengthening, and progressing patients; progression from Level 3 to Level 4; and the use of walkers, canes, crutches, and prosthetic legs and progressing patients who ...

Always default to the safest lifting/transfer method (e.g., total lift) if there is any doubt in the patient’s ability to perform the task. Boynton, T. etal. (2014 ...

Assessment Tool 2.0 (BMAT 2.0), revised from BMAT 1.0, which was created to identify pa-tient mobility function deficits and guide the healthcare team in selecting equipment to safe-ly handle and mobilize patients. BMAT 2.0 is most effective when documented in the elec-tronic health record (EHR) and clearly commu-nicated with all staff.

BMAT 2.0 contains the same validated maneuvers and components as BMAT 1.0 but also focuses on safe mode for testing, completing patient care tasks, progressing and strengthening, and on optimal discharge planning and placement. In acute care settings, BMAT is linked to the fall risk and skin assessments, task list and patient care plan in the EMR.

2014年9月5日 · 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 functional task list and identifies the mobility level the patient can achieve (such as mobility level 1).
