The role of early mobility in delirium prevention in the ICU: an evaluation of practice
No full textCritically ill patients face increased risks of long-term complications such as ICU-acquired weakness, delirium, and prolonged hospital stays. Early mobility has been shown to mitigate these risks, yet adherence to mobility protocols remains inconsistent. This project aimed to evaluate adherence to existing early mobility protocols in a medical intensive care unit, identify gaps in implementation, and assess the relationship between early mobility and patient outcomes, including incidence of delirium, ICU length of stay, hospital LOS, and ventilator days

Increasing joy in work in the OHSU Wound Clinic through meaningful connections
Get PDFThis project examines joy amongst multidisciplinary teammates in an outpatient wound care setting, applying the Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s (IHI) Joy in Work Framework to strengthen workplace connection and engagement. Through qualitative research, surveys and interviews identified systemic barriers, inefficiencies, documentation burdens, and fragmented communication—that limit sustained team cohesion. Findings highlight the importance of structured interventions such as daily huddles, optimized scheduling, and engagement-driven initiatives to foster resilience and mitigate burnout risks. By addressing these challenges, the study aims to enhance clinician well-being, improve workforce sustainability, and support long-term healthcare system efficiency. Future phases will evaluate intervention impact and explore scalable solutions for sustaining joy in work
