As the most common preventable injury, Falls in the acute care setting are a significant concern for hospitals nationwide. These incidents can lead to injuries, longer hospital stays, and increased healthcare costs. In 2024, Cass Health implemented a patient fall debrief program. Whenever a patient falls, a debrief is held with key stakeholders to discuss what happened and look for process improvement opportunities.
