Schedule a DemoHundreds of facilities just like yours have grown their Remote Patient Monitoring programs with CCN Health. Let us show you how.
CCN Health provides a certified Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) integration with Epic designed specifically for ccrc campuses, featuring fall detection technology. The platform automates clinical documentation, enables real-time monitoring, and generates Medicare billing records for compliant reimbursement.
Fall Detection for CCRC RPM with Epic
For ccrc campuses running RPM through Epic, fall detection addresses a critical need: managing monitoring across multiple care levels on one campus. 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.
Why Fall Detection for CCRC
CCRC campuses serve residents across the full continuum of care — from independent living through assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing — within a single campus. Fall Detection is particularly relevant because:
- 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
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.
Data Captured
- Fall events
- Room presence/absence
- Activity patterns
- Bed exit timing
- Nighttime movement frequency
Benefits for CCRC Campuses
Continuum Coverage
One monitoring platform covers every care level — data follows the resident as acuity changes.
Transition Support
Continuous monitoring data informs care level transitions with objective health metrics.
Campus-Wide Insights
Aggregated data across all care levels supports operational planning and quality improvement.
Fall Detection vs. Traditional Approaches
| Factor | Sensor-Based | Traditional |
|---|---|---|
| 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 |
Common Conditions in CCRC
- hypertension
- diabetes
- heart failure
- COPD
- fall risk
- cognitive decline
Billing & Reimbursement
Fall Detection data contributes to RPM billing in ccrc settings:
| CPT Code | Reimbursement | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| 99453 | ~$19 | One-time device setup and patient education |
| 99454 | ~$50/mo | 16+ days of readings per 30-day period |
| 99457 | ~$48/mo | First 20 minutes of clinical monitoring time |
| 99458 | ~$38/mo | Each additional 20 minutes of clinical time |
Monthly potential per resident: $120+
Frequently Asked Questions
Is fall detection suitable for ccrc residents?
Yes. Fall Detection is ideal for ccrc settings, where detects falls even when no staff member is present.
How does fall detection data reach Epic?
Data flows automatically from the monitoring system to CCN Health's platform, then syncs bi-directionally with Epic. No manual charting required.
What is the implementation timeline?
Most ccrc campuses are fully operational within 4 weeks including system deployment, Epic integration, and care staff training.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about implementation, billing, and clinical workflows.
Yes. CCN Health integrates with Epic via secure APIs, enabling RPM device data and care management documentation to flow into Epic's enterprise health records.
CCN Health transmits device readings and care coordination notes to Epic through FHIR-based APIs, ensuring clinical data is available within existing Epic workflows.
RPM uses FDA-cleared connected devices to collect patient vitals—such as blood pressure, weight, and glucose—outside of traditional clinical settings, enabling proactive care and early intervention.
The primary RPM CPT codes are 99453 (device setup), 99454 (monthly device supply/data transmission), 99457 (first 20 min clinical review), and 99458 (each additional 20 min).
CCRCs use RPM across all levels of care—from independent living to skilled nursing—providing a consistent monitoring platform that follows residents as their care needs evolve.
