Case Study: Rockport Healthcare Services reduces falls with OneStep

Rockport Healthcare Services cuts falls 19% with OneStep

Rockport Healthcare Services faced the challenge of reducing resident falls across its skilled nursing facilities. Their traditional method of manually assessing fall risk was infrequent and subjective, leaving residents unmonitored for weeks and preventing leadership from objectively comparing results between buildings. They turned to OneStep for a solution.

OneStep provided a solution that uses a smartphone to automatically measure gait and fall risk as residents walk. This allowed for frequent, objective tracking and alerts when a resident's risk increased. By implementing OneStep, Rockport discovered that measuring residents every two weeks led to a 19% reduction in falls. Across all their facilities using the technology, falls decreased by 8-9% in the first year.
