The Care App allows users to record a fall that has occurred, capturing this at the point of care. This leads to timely reporting of falls and communicates this to the wider team instantaneously.
Good communication promotes awareness of any adverse events occurring and allows care staff to allow for any additional interventions or observations required.

The falls matrix provides insights into trends occurring with falls, such as time of day, impact and location across the care site and/or communities within. This insight provides supporting evidence for any change to care plans or operational procedures and policies, for instance knowledge that there may be higher falls at handover times, or that a resident is rising early and needs support at a particular time.
The Digital Care System features a ‘Multifactorial Falls Tool’ that assesses the risk factors that may lead to a risk of falling. The tool provides suggested actions to support residents and manage the risk of falling. Risks identified in the tool feed automatically into the care planning process; meaning important information about risk factors inform the care actions required.
