Case Study: Senior Care Communities reduces falls and medication costs with SNF Metrics

Reduce Residents’ Medications to Reduce Falls in Senior Care Communities

a senior care community was challenged with reducing the high risk of resident falls, which are often caused or exacerbated by polypharmacy, or the use of multiple medications. To address this operational and clinical safety issue, they partnered with SNF Metrics to utilize their Clinical Dashboard and medication management reports as part of the SNF Compass product suite.

By implementing SNF Metrics' solution, the community gained access to daily reports that identify residents on the highest number of medications. This allowed their clinical staff to quickly review and optimize treatment plans, safely reducing medications. This proactive approach mitigated fall risks and also generated significant cost savings, with one operator new to SNF Metrics projecting over $2 million in medication spend savings for 2024.
