Case Study: Southeast VA Medical Center improves fall prevention and saves millions with GetWellNetwork

Southeast VA Medical Center reduces in-hospital falls by 33% with GetWellNetwork

The Southeast VA Medical Center, a group of four hospitals on the West Coast, collaborated with Get Well to address the challenge of reducing in-hospital patient fall rates. Their goal was to enhance patient safety and realize significant cost savings associated with fall prevention.

Get Well implemented its Inpatient platform to deliver clinical prompts and mandatory fall education tasks to patients. This solution led to a 33% decline in overall in-hospital fall rates, preventing an estimated 93 falls. As a result, Get Well helped the medical centers achieve over $5.8 million in cost savings over a 12-month period.
