Abstract
Bed rest and immobility are associated with negative outcomes in survivors of critical illness. Use of a structured quality improvement model to improve early mobilization in the intensive care unit has multiple steps, including engaging and educating a multidisciplinary team, and identifying barriers that need to be addressed in designing the project.
