The Operations Podcast with Fexingo · 2026-07-16 · 9 min
In this episode of The Operations Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore how a mid-sized hospital system in Ohio reduced patient falls by 75 percent over 18 months. They break down the specific operational changes: a real-time risk scoring algorithm integrated with nurse check-in workflows, redesigned bed alarms with haptic feedback, and a policy that converted fall post-mortems into daily pre-shift huddles. The conversation focuses on the human factors - how the operations team got frontline staff to adopt the new protocols without resistance. Key numbers: a fall rate that dropped from 8.2 per 1,000 patient-days to 2.1, and an estimated cost savings of $2.8 million annually from avoided injuries, litigation, and extended stays. The hosts connect this to broader lessons about safety-critical operations in any high-stakes environment. #PatientSafety #HospitalOperations #FallPrevention #HealthcareOperations #RiskScoring #ProcessImprovement #NurseWorkflow #OperationalExcellence #SafetyCulture #FrontlineAdoption #DataDriven #HapticFeedback #ContinuousImprovement #CostSavings #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #OperationsPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
