A Better Sense of Balance
Eliminating Costly Falls in Hospitals
ABOUT US
We believe a hospital’s number one priority is the safety of patients, and that optimal patient care avoids needless and costly challenges. The current fall risk assessment system is flawed, putting patients in danger and costing hospitals billions. And these falls are often avertable. Our goal is to eliminate preventable falls by revolutionizing the way clinicians monitor patient fall risk status.
THE CHALLENGE
In-Hospital Falls Are Expensive
That’s a $6 Billion Problem Annually
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) classifies in-hospital falls as preventable events and will not cover the expense.
Standard Risk Measures Are Failing Hospitals
In-Hospital Falls Are Expensive
Inaccurate Assessment
Standard fall risk scales yield a significant number of false “low risk/no risk” scores, leading nurses and clinical staff to inadvertently miss potential dangers or risk factors.
Non-Patient Specific Plans
The current fall risk assessment tools do not create patient-specific action plans, meaning nursing staff may not have the most effective preventive plan in place for each patient.
Staff Limitations
OUR SOLUTION
Revolutionizing Fall Prevention
The Kinometrix System eliminates false “low/no risk” assessments, reducing the number of preventable falls and providing a 6.5:1 return on investment to hospitals.
By using more rigorous, objective patient measurements, Kinometrix allows nursing staff to manage risk through specific actionable fall risk reports, yielding better and more targeted fall-prevention care.
Use of the Kinometrix system saves up to
per bed in fall losses, providing hospitals with a 6.5:1 return on investment.
