Fall Detection for Behavioral Health Integration with Epic
For organizations running BHI programs through Epic, fall detection adds a critical monitoring dimension. Sensor-based fall detection uses radar presence sensing combined with movement pattern analysis to identify falls in real-time, even when no one witnesses the event.
How Fall Detection Works
Sensor-based fall detection uses radar presence sensing combined with movement pattern analysis to identify falls in real-time, even when no one witnesses the event.
Events and Data Captured
- Fall events
- Room presence/absence
- Activity patterns
- Bed exit timing
- Nighttime movement frequency
Key Advantages
- Detects falls even when no staff member is present
- Reduces time-to-response for fall events
- No wearable pendant that residents forget or refuse to use
- Combines with vital sign data for comprehensive assessment
- Nighttime monitoring without disturbing sleep
Fall Detection vs. Traditional Monitoring
| Factor | Sensor-Based Detection | Traditional Methods |
|---|---|---|
| Detection Method | Automatic via radar/presence | Pendant press or staff witness |
| False Alarms | Low — pattern-based detection | High with motion sensors |
| Resident Compliance | No action needed | Must wear and press pendant |
| Night Coverage | Continuous without disruption | Rounds-based, gaps between checks |
| Data Integration | Linked to vital signs and EHR | Standalone incident report |
Ideal Use Cases
- Memory care residents at high fall risk
- Post-hospital residents during recovery
- Nighttime monitoring in any care setting
- Independent living for early intervention
Fall Detection in BHI Programs
When integrated with CCN Health's BHI program through Epic, fall detection data flows automatically into the EHR and contributes to:
- Clinical Documentation — Fall events and response records documented for care plan updates
- Billing Compliance — Data transmissions count toward 99492 requirements
- Alert Workflows — Abnormal readings trigger notifications to care staff via Epic
- Cross-Program Use — Fall Detection data available across RPM, CCM, and other programs
Billing & Reimbursement
Fall Detection data contributes to BHI billing requirements:
| CPT Code | Reimbursement | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| 99484 | ~$48/mo | 20+ minutes of clinical staff time per month |
| 99492 | ~$163 | Initial psychiatric collaborative care (70+ min first month) |
| 99493 | ~$130/mo | Subsequent psychiatric collaborative care (60+ min) |
Monthly potential per patient: $48+
Frequently Asked Questions
How does fall detection data flow to Epic?
Fall Detection data is captured automatically and transmitted to the CCN Health platform, which syncs bi-directionally with Epic. No manual entry is required.
Does fall detection qualify for BHI billing?
Yes. Fall Detection data transmissions count toward the monitoring requirements for BHI CPT codes when combined with CCN Health's clinical oversight services.
What is the implementation process?
CCN Health handles the full setup: sensor deployment, alert configuration, Epic integration, staff training, and ongoing support.
Technology that stays in the background — so care stays in the foreground.
