Abstract Low mobility in the hospital, defined as mobility limited to bed rest or bed to chair transfers, is associated with high rates of functional decline, nursing home placement, and death even after adjusting for illness severity and comorbidity. This lecture will describe the gradual of building of evidence for both the adverse outcomes and potential solutions at both an individual and a health system level to address the challenge of low mobility.

Because of the cost of nursing home care and desire of older adults to stay in their homes, it is important for health care providers to understand the factors that place older adults at risk for nursing home placement. This integrative review of 12 years of research, as published in 148 articles, explores the risk factors for nursing home placement of older adults. Using the framework of the vulnerable populations conceptual model developed by Flaskerud and Winslow (1998), we explored factors related to resource availability, relative risks, and health status. Important factors include socioeconomic status, having a caregiver, the availability and use of home- and community-based support services, race, acute illness particularly if hospitalization is required, medications, dementia, multiple chronic conditions, functional disability, and falls. Few intervention studies were identified. Development of evidence-based interventions and creation of policies to address modifiable risk factors are important next steps.
