Falls Report - User Interface Improvements

Written by Rachel Martin

The Falls Report provides a clear, auditable view of recorded fall incidents within a home. It allows users to review incidents over a selected time period, understand what happened, who was involved, and access detailed records for follow-up, governance, and inspection purposes.

What’s Improved

  • Updated filters section with a modern, more intuitive user interface

  • New table layout and interface for viewing Falls reports historically, with improved structure and readability

  • Enhanced data clarity and consistency, making it easier to review, compare, and interpret report information

Why it matters?

  • Faster access to the relevant fall information

  • Quicker report loading and smoother navigation

  • Clearer, more intuitive experience

  • More confident decision-making

Where to find the Falls Report:

Screen 1: Initial State (before filters are applied)

  • Viewing a structured list of fall events and key details

  • Quickly identifying incident type, response time, and carer involvement

  • Accessing full incident records for each fall
