How does OneStep help prevent falls while enhancing revenue?

In healthcare, justifying the cost of new technology is a challenge. Leadership teams often hesitate to invest in innovative solutions, especially when return on investment (ROI) metrics are unclear. At the same time, addressing the risk for falls—a common and costly issue in patient care—demands proactive and data-driven solutions.

OneStep offers a unique solution: combining fall prevention with measurable financial benefits. This article explores how OneStep provides healthcare organizations with the data they need to proactively address falls by increasing necessary referrals back to skilled therapy sooner and reducing downstream healthcare costs.

The ROI Challenge in Healthcare

Unclear Financial Impact

Many technologies lack clear evidence of their financial benefits, making leadership teams hesitant to approve significant investments up front.

Delayed Visibility of Outcomes

Some fall prevention solutions take months to show measurable improvements, leaving decision-makers without immediate proof of clinical impact.

Limited Metrics for Decision-Making

Without robust tracking tools, it’s difficult to quantify how new technology impacts both patient outcomes and operational costs.
