Hospital Volume
Fall Baseline
Typical acute care range is roughly 2.5–4.0.
Rounding Program
Location + Patient rounding
- Step 1: Location-based fall prevention rounding
- Step 2: + Patient safety & experience rounding
- Step 3: + Staff engagement rounding
Higher tiers reduce total fall volume and the share of falls with injury (anchored to published outcomes: ~78% total fall reduction, ~85% injurious fall reduction).
Cost Assumptions
Incremental cost for falls with injury (~$35k peer-reviewed default).
Lower incremental cost for falls without serious injury (editable).
Starting injury rate before structured rounding; program tier lowers this share.
Annual Falls Prevented
Versus 0 baseline falls per year.
Annual Cost Avoided
0 injurious + 0 non-injury falls avoided.
