How Posey Fall Prevention Products Complement Existing Protocols

October 13, 2025 9:00 AM

Preventing patient falls is one of the most pressing challenges in healthcare today. Falls not only place patients at risk for injury, but they also carry significant compliance, staffing, and reputational consequences for hospitals. Established fall prevention protocols play a critical role in minimizing these risks, but even the best protocols face challenges—such as multiple points of risk across care settings, heavy staff workloads, and the ever-present demands of meeting compliance standards.

At TIDI, we understand that no single product can prevent falls. That’s why Posey® fall prevention products are designed as a comprehensive suite, working in harmony with hospital protocols to strengthen safeguards, support staff, and close gaps in coverage. 

How Posey Fall Prevention Products Work Together to Complement Protocols

Layered Safety Net

Effective falls prevention requires more than a single line of defense. Posey products are designed to help create layers of safety:

  • Pairing chair alarms with fall mats provides both early detection and injury reduction if a fall does occur.
  • Integrating alarms with nurse call systems help rapid staff response without delays, further reducing patient risk.

Interdepartmental Consistency

Hospitals face the challenge of maintaining consistency across units with different needs. Posey products provide standardized solutions that work across ICU, med-surg, rehab, and long-term care environments—helping to ensure protocols are applied consistently throughout the hospital.

Staff Workflow Support

Falls prevention should strengthen—not strain—clinical workflows. Posey designs products that are simple to apply, support existing protocols, and intuitive for staff to use. This reduces caregiver burden while helping teams remain compliant with established protocols.

Why a Full Suite of Falls Prevention Products Matters

Holistic Protection Across Care Settings

Each area of the hospital faces unique fall risks:

  • ICU patients may experience disorientation post-surgery.
  • Med-surg units manage high volumes of at-risk patients.
  • Long-term care settings require sustained vigilance over time.

Posey’s comprehensive fall prevention product suite helps ensure that every care environment has access to tailored solutions.

Supporting Protocols and Compliance

A full product line makes it easier for staff to follow established protocols. Coverage across different risk areas helps hospitals align with Joint Commission and CMS expectations, where the baseline is clear: hospitals must identify at-risk patients and maintain a program to protect them. Posey products help elevate these efforts beyond the minimum requirement into a culture of proactive safety.

The Posey Falls Prevention Product Suite

Monitoring & Alerts: Bed and chair alarms, wireless toilet sensors, and flexible wireless systems that integrate with nurse call infrastructure—ensuring fast response times and adaptable coverage.

Patient Mobility Support: Gait belts and non-slip socks that encourage safe mobility and help reduce fall risks.

Injury Reduction: Fall mats and hipsters designed to minimize harm if a fall does occur.

Fall Risk Identifiers: Wristbands, signage, and room markers that provide clear visual cues for staff and caregivers.

How Fall Prevention Products Work Together Across the Hospital

Consistent Protocol Support

When alarms, fall mats, and visual identifiers are used together, they create a layered defense for high-risk patients. Standardizing these solutions across the hospital simplifies staff training and reduces variability in patient care.

Seamless Integration

Posey wireless systems integrate with existing nurse call technology and adapt to diverse room layouts, creating a seamless experience across departments. Scalable solutions allow hospitals to expand coverage as patient needs change.

Efficiency for Staff

Every product is built with usability in mind. From easy-to-apply wristbands to intuitive alarm systems, Posey products reduce complexity and support staff efficiency while reinforcing compliance.

Driving Compliance Through Better Coverage

Hospitals are under constant pressure to demonstrate compliance during audits and accreditation reviews. A comprehensive fall prevention product suite fills potential gaps in existing protocols, making it easier for staff to meet standards and for organizations to showcase a strong safety culture. Beyond compliance, having visible and reliable safeguards builds trust with patients and families—reinforcing your hospital’s commitment to quality care.
