Episode Synopsis
What if every patient had a built-in safety partner? In this episode of Key in to Quality, Safe Patient Handling Coordinator Kelly Drilling explains merging fall prevention and handling into one safety mobility champion role. Frontline champion Marissa Cocker describes day-to-day impact on a neurosurgery floor, helping patients mobilize sooner and guiding colleagues on the right equipment.The team uses the Bedside Mobility Assessment Tool to tailor safe movement plans, while quarterly champion events build skills with data, hands-on training, and practical communication tactics. Safe Mobility Champions show how early, supported mobility improves outcomes and how language, leadership, and the right tools make safety a shared practice.
