Five Components of MOVIN

Physical therapy and nursing-led didactic and hands-on training
Ambulation Environment
Distance markers and unit maps to increase progression
Resources
Additional staff and ambulation equipment
Unit Culture
Unit-level launch team, unit ambulation goals, and incentives
Communication
