Johns Hopkins Activity and Mobility Promotion (JH-AMP)™ firmly establishes the concept that a systematic approach is essential to combating the harms of immobility in our hospitals. Our inter-professional program provides frontline caregivers and hospital leaders with the tools and support needed to design and implement structured quality improvement processes that can successfully increase patient activity and mobility to improve outcomes.
