Each year, a typical 100-bed nursing home reports one to two hundred falls. Between ten and twenty percent of those falls cause serious injury, with the cost per fall injury averaging forty thousand dollars. On top of that, falls constitute the most common source of litigation in the nursing home industry.
At Samarion, we recognize that residents are people, not statistics. That is why SamarionSolution revolves around the resident. SamarionPortrait is a highly customized resident profile comprised of information gathered from several sources, including image analysis software. SamarionPrevention technology is then able to accurately discern potentially harmful movements, such as unassisted bed-exiting behavior.
When seconds matter. When SamarionPrevention detects a resident exiting the bed unassisted, the system sends an immediate alert to the nursing station and other caregivers via mobile assistant devices. The staff member nearest the resident intervenes within seconds, thus averting a potential health crisis for the resident and a potential financial crisis for the nursing home.
