The mobility clock monitors the level of mobility in the intensive care units of Hospital Sírio-Libanês and is based on the ICU mobility scale. It presents ten mobility milestones (the higher the score, the higher the mobility level achieved by the patient). One of the hands of the clock represents the mobility level planned by the multidisciplinary team for the patient during the shift (goal), and the other, represents what was achieved. In the example above, the objective elaborated by the team was to “march on spot” (level 6) and the milestone achieved was to “sit on the edge of bed” (level 3). Thus, the objective was not reached because the level of mobility achieved was lower than planned.
