Immediate nursing labor: The concentrated burst of staff time in the first 60 minutes after a fall — initial assessment, patient stabilization, and neuro-checks.
Post-fall clinical monitoring: Cumulative nursing hours for ongoing observation (Q1H neuro-checks) and physical therapy clearances during extended stay days.
Administrative & compliance labor: Non-bedside time for incident reporting, root cause analysis, and regulatory documentation — required for all falls.
FTE savings: Staff capacity redirected from reactive post-fall care to proactive patient care. Calculated as total FTE burden × fall reduction rate. Based on 2,080 hrs/year.
Fall reduction rate: OK2Predict's clinical evaluation across five SNFs recorded only 1 fall over 4,500+ monitored hours among 44 high-risk patients. A conservative 40% is applied to account for variability in staff response times and facility workflows.
Sensor management note: Traditional fall prevention requires repeated floor mat placement/removal, bed alarm toggling, and environmental checks multiple times per shift. OK2Predict requires only two sensor interactions per patient — at admission and discharge.
Methodology: Direct costs use JAMA Health Forum benchmarks (Dykes et al., 2023). Immediate nursing: 2 hrs/fall. Post-fall clinical monitoring: 2.6 hrs/fall. Admin/compliance: 3 hrs/fall. FTE based on 2,080 hrs/year. RN rate default: $39.78/hr (U.S. BLS). The financial figures and labor hours are derived from a synthetic time-motion model utilizing peer-reviewed benchmarks and standardized AHRQ Tool 3O clinical pathways. Legal and malpractice costs not included.
