Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services developing a mobility metric to guide providers in preventing mobility loss among hospitalized older adults.

House Resolution 550 expresses the House of Representatives' support for creating a new national standard to track and prevent the loss of physical mobility in hospitalized older adults. The resolution encourages the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to develop specific quality metrics that would prompt healthcare providers to prioritize physical activity and movement for seniors during their hospital stays. For citizens, this measure aims to improve recovery outcomes and reduce the risk of long-term disability or nursing home admission that can occur when elderly patients remain bedridden for extended periods while receiving medical treatment.
