Abstract

This study is an 11-month observational study aimed at evaluating the impact of bed exit sensor notification settings and response completion times on fall prevention. Data was collected from 47 patients with prior falls to monitor alert frequency, notification settings, and response times. Analysis suggested that frequent alerts were associated with declines in cognitive and mobility functions, potentially contributing to alarm fatigue among nursing staff. Optimizing these settings may help reduce falls and alleviate nurse workload.
