Schedule a DemoHundreds of facilities just like yours have grown their Chronic Care Management programs with CCN Health. Let us show you how.
CCN Health provides a certified Chronic Care Management (CCM) integration with Epic designed specifically for independent living communities, featuring fall detection technology. The platform automates clinical documentation, enables real-time monitoring, and generates Medicare billing records for compliant reimbursement.
Fall Detection for Independent Living CCM with Epic
Independent Living communities can enhance their CCM programs with fall detection technology that integrates directly with Epic. 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 Independent Living
Independent Living communities serve active seniors who live independently but may have emerging chronic conditions that benefit from early monitoring and preventive care. 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 Independent Living Communities
Wellness-Focused
Positioned as proactive wellness technology rather than medical monitoring, encouraging adoption.
Early Detection
Catch emerging conditions before they require assisted living or skilled nursing transitions.
Minimal Disruption
Sensorless and simple-to-use devices require no lifestyle changes or technical skill.
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 Independent Living
- hypertension
- pre-diabetes
- weight management
- fall prevention
- sleep quality
- early cardiac concerns
Billing & Reimbursement
Fall Detection data contributes to CCM billing in independent living settings:

| 99490 | ~$62/mo | 20+ minutes of clinical staff time per month |
| 99491 | ~$83/mo | 30+ minutes of physician/QHP time per month |
Monthly potential per resident: $62+
