Fall Detection for Remote Patient Monitoring with PointClickCare
CCN Health's integration brings fall detection capabilities directly into your PointClickCare RPM workflow. 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 RPM Programs
When integrated with CCN Health's RPM program through PointClickCare, 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 99454 requirements
- Alert Workflows — Abnormal readings trigger notifications to care staff via PointClickCare
- Cross-Program Use — Fall Detection data available across RPM, CCM, and other programs
Billing & Reimbursement
Fall Detection data contributes to RPM billing requirements:
| 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 patient: $120+
Frequently Asked Questions
How does fall detection data flow to PointClickCare?
Fall Detection data is captured automatically and transmitted to the CCN Health platform, which syncs bi-directionally with PointClickCare. No manual entry is required.
Does fall detection qualify for RPM billing?
Yes. Fall Detection data transmissions count toward the monitoring requirements for RPM 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, PointClickCare integration, staff training, and ongoing support.
Technology that stays in the background — so care stays in the foreground.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about implementation, billing, and clinical workflows.
Yes. CCN Health has a direct integration with PointClickCare, allowing vital-sign data from RPM devices to flow automatically into resident charts without manual entry.
Device readings are transmitted to CCN Health's platform and then pushed into PointClickCare via API, appearing alongside existing clinical documentation for a unified workflow.
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).
Fall detection devices use accelerometers and AI algorithms to identify fall events and immediately alert clinical staff, reducing response times and improving outcomes.
