Jan 31 by eatmysoxRNI'd they can get in a chair I consider them chair fast. If they can walk to the bathroom but only with assistance, they are an assist. Etc.

Feb 2 by Oskie06If patient could bear wait and pivot with transfer they are chair fast. If they need complete assistance to transfer, they are bed bound - Feb 5 by HmarieDPer OASIS guidelines, if a patient can tolerate being up in a chair, even if they must be transferred via hoyer lift, they are chairfast.
