Case Study: Bethany Life achieves reduced reportable events with Samsung

Bethany Life Sees Reportable Events Drop with Behavior Management Long-Term Care Technology

Bethany Life, a 100‑year‑old senior care community in Story City, Iowa, was struggling with limited visibility into dementia and Alzheimer’s patients’ behavioral health, increased regulatory scrutiny, and slow, paper‑based documentation. To modernize care and capture real‑time observations, they deployed the VisibleHand Foresight behavior‑monitoring app on durable Samsung Galaxy J3 mobile devices — a Samsung‑enabled, mobile solution that made documentation accessible at the point of care.

Using Samsung Galaxy J3 devices to run Foresight, Bethany Life trained staff in as little as five minutes and quickly increased the number of patients being charted. The Samsung‑enabled implementation freed clinical data from nursing silos, gave managers timely antipsychotic‑use reporting, and contributed to zero behavior‑related reports to the Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals since deployment, improving prevention efforts and resident/family satisfaction.
