Mobility Technician for Acute Care

[Guest guest]

I am interested to learn whether other hospital systems have implemented the use

of mobility technicians to increase the amount of supervised ambulation

available during a hospital stay? My organization intends on adding this

position for those patients that don't require skilled PT for gait training but

would benefit from being ambulated more frequently than the nursing unit is able

to provide. Also, is anyone willing to share their hospital's job description

for mobility technician?

Thanks,
