Case Study: Sentara Healthcare reduces falls by 78% with CipherHealth CipherRounds

Sentara Healthcare reduces falls by 78% with CipherHealth

Sentara Healthcare, a 12-hospital system, sought to reduce preventable patient falls and fall-related injuries. To improve staff compliance with fall prevention protocols, they partnered with CipherHealth and implemented its CipherRounds product to enhance their nurse manager rounding process.

CipherHealth's solution involved creating a customized rounding script within CipherRounds to identify environmental fall risks and trigger automatic alerts. This led to a 78% reduction in the overall fall rate and an 85% reduction in falls with injury. The success prompted Sentara to expand the CipherHealth program across its entire system.
