In the face of escalating non-fatal fall-related expenses and an aging population, innovative solutions in assisted living facilities (ALFs) are imperative. This study evaluates the implementation of a remote-surveillance technology (AUGi) across three diverse ALFs, emphasizing its impact on falls and falls with injury across sites. Utilizing comprehensive data collection, AUGi facilitated an average reduction of 64% in falls (p < 0.01) and falls with injury (p = 0.05), a statistically and clinically significant difference. The technology’s success in enhancing nurse surveillance, providing prompt notifications, and reducing falls underscores its potential to transform ALF care dynamics. This pioneering approach not only fosters better staff-patient interactions but also provides a foundation for future advancements in clinical decision support systems, offering hope for mitigating falls in ALFs.
