Key Factors Contributing to High Fall Rates Identified by Hospital Leadership:
🚨 Incapacity for patients to call for assistance due to confusion and forgetfulness.
🚨 Limited ability to maintain privacy for patients while using the restroom while also monitoring them without being in the restroom with the patient.
🚨 Inconsistent use of purposeful hourly rounding using the 5P’s (Pain, Potty, Position, Possessions and Plan).
Trial Data Summary: Proven Success in Fall Prevention:
✅ Reduced Falls: During the three-month study, the total fall rate decreased from 4.13 to 1.49 in the Rehab unit, a 64% reduction.
✅ Faster Staff Response Time: The staff call light response time decreased from 1 minute and 17 seconds to 59 seconds, a 23.5% reduction. This means staff were alerted and addressed the patient almost 20 seconds faster.
✅ Reduced Injuries and Cost Savings: The facility reported approximate cost savings of over $170,000 by preventing just five falls during the study period.
🚨 Up to one-third of hospital falls are preventable with active monitoring.
🚨 50% of acute care falls are elimination related — reinforcing the the need to pair fall monitoring with incontinence detection.
🚨 Our pads detect moisture in real time using proprietary thermal-conducive ink, enabling staff to intervene before a patient gets up and risks a fall.
🚨 Stop relying on traditional, manual methods of checking for incontinence.
✅ Start innovating with the smarter and superior incontinence risk solution.
