CASE STUDY: FALLS

TRACK 1 – STRATEGIC

Accelerating Falls Prevention Through Smart Hospital Technology, Unified Communications, and Strong Vendor Accountability

Falls remain one of the most costly and stubborn patient safety issues in healthcare. Smart hospitals now have the opportunity to tackle this challenge with integrated communication ecosystems, advanced alerting, and data-driven workflows—yet success depends as much on vendor alignment and cross-organizational accountability as it does on the technology itself. Walk away with a blueprint for:

  • Enhancing vendor collaboration and accountability to ensure technology partners drive the hospital’s safety and quality goals.
  • Optimizing smart-hospital communication ecosystems and traditional falls-prevention methods
  • Delivering evidence-based results showing how integrated alerting, EMR data, and frontline practice combine to reduce preventable falls and improve patient outcomes over time.
