Healthcare

Falls happen in all healthcare settings

Each year, between 700,000 and 1,000,000 people in the United States fall in the hospital. There are approximately 11,000 fatal falls annually. While research shows that close to one-third of falls can be prevented, those that are not prevented may result in fractures, lacerations, or internal bleeding, leading to increased health care utilization.

While the risk of hospital falls is well-established, the risk of slips, trips, and falls pose a significant risk within outpatient facilities as well. Providers need to protect patients against unnecessary injury and their practice against undue liability.

Put up your best defense

Viconic Fall Defense supports healthcare providers to reduce the risk of fall-related injuries. The scientifically-backed system is a layer of protection underneath the floor covering that invisibly protects patients and staff, while minimizing the negative outcomes from a fall.
