Fall Review Clips: How Clear Context Changes Fall Response (Teton Explained #1)

Who We Are

Teton empowers care by helping teams see risk sooner and act earlier, so care quality improves even when resources are stretched.

Falls: The Gap Between Incident and Insight

When a fall occurs, care teams face immediate, high-stakes decisions: Is the resident injured? Do they need the ER? What caused the fall and how do we prevent the next one? Too often, those questions are answered with guesswork. Teams arrive after the fact. Residents may be disoriented. Witnesses aren’t always present. The full picture is missing.

That uncertainty has real consequences. It complicates injury assessment, makes care plan changes harder to justify, and leaves families with incomplete answers. Without clear insight into how a fall occurred, teams are forced to make assumptions, limiting prevention and increasing the risk of repeat incidents.

What Fall Review Clips Are

Fall Review Clips are short, pseudonymized animations automatically generated when Teton detects a fall. Each clip captures the moments before and during the incident, showing exactly how the fall unfolded.

The feature is built on four principles:

1. COVERAGE YOU CAN COUNT ON

Clips are available for nearly all falls and are a reliable part of the care workflow.‍

2. PRIVACY BY DESIGN

Clips are pseudonymized, with no identifying resident details. Access is limited to authorized care teams within the workflow.

3. CLARITY WHERE IT MATTERS

Clips show how the fall occurred, including resident movement and environmental factors leading up to the incident.

4. CONTEXT THAT INFORMS ACTION

Clips include key metrics such as time on the ground, response time, and activity before and after the fall to support faster, more confident decisions.

How It's Used

Care teams review Fall Review Clips shortly after an incident to support injury assessment and response decisions. Notifications are sent immediately, and visual context helps teams determine severity, decide on ER escalation, and communicate clearly with families.

Over time, clips help teams identify patterns; recurring balance issues, mobility aid misuse, or environmental risks, so they can adjust care plans and environments based on evidence. Clips also serve as training tools, helping teams learn from real incidents across shifts.

Impact

Organizations using Teton see a 40% reduction in falls and a 96% improvement in response time, on average. When falls do occur, Fall Review Clips change the response.

• Faster, more confident decisions: Teams have clear context to assess injuries and determine next steps.

• Fewer unnecessary ER visits: Clear visual context helps teams avoid unnecessary ER transfers when residents are stable, reducing resident stress, lowering costs and keeping care in-house.

• Better fall prevention over time: Understanding why falls occur allows teams to make targeted changes that reduce repeat incidents

• Stronger conversations with families: Care teams can clearly explain what happened and how it was addressed.

• Defensible quality narratives: Teams have clear, documented evidence of incident context and response.

A Tool for Support

Care teams want to do right by residents. They want to prevent harm, respond quickly, and make decisions grounded in reality. Fall Review Clips give care teams the truth they need to act quickly, confidently, and prevent the next incident. When falls happen, clear context, not assumptions, makes the difference.
