Patient falls concern us all. In the past, patients at risk of falling if they left their chairs or beds were either physically restrained or sedated. Over a quarter century ago, Bed-Check® pioneered a revolutionary technology that often could safely replace physical or medical restraints.
Today the Bed-Check® System, comprised of a control unit and a Sensormat®, serves as an integral part of fall and restraint reduction programs in hospitals, long term care facilities and home health care situations all over the nation. This system’s exclusive purpose is to monitor those patients who are assessed to be at risk for falls and to alert their caregivers when immediate intervention is required. Use of physical restraints can often be greatly reduced while patient dignity is enhanced.
In a recent case study: ·Restraint usage reduced 37% ·Unassisted (no caregiver present) falls reduced 38%
