STAND STEADI: Fall Prevention in Inpatient Settings

This project focused on translating fall-prevention guidance for inpatient care into a visually clear and engaging educational video that helps healthcare audiences better understand how screening, assessment, and intervention can work together to reduce fall risk among older adults.

Role: UX/UI Designer, Graphic Designer, Visual Designer, Video Editor

Responsibilities: Visual storytelling, information design, graphic design, visual design, editing, layout refinement, and final video presentation

Tools Used: Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, and supporting design/editing tools as needed

Project Type: Public Health Education / Clinical Training Video

Project Overview

“STAND STEADI: Fall Prevention in Inpatient Settings” is an educational video connected to the CDC’s STEADI initiative and focused on helping healthcare providers integrate fall prevention into inpatient clinical practice. The project supports guidance around reducing falls among older adults during and after hospital stays by emphasizing a practical workflow built around screening, assessing risk factors, and intervening with coordinated care strategies.

My Role & Responsibilities

For this project, I approached the work through the lens of a UX/UI Designer, Graphic Designer, Visual Designer, and Video Editor. My role centered on shaping the visual presentation of the information, organizing the content into a format that was easy to follow, refining graphic and layout elements, and editing the final piece so the training message felt polished, informative, and visually cohesive.

Strategic Design Approach

My strategic goal was to make the inpatient fall-prevention guidance feel practical, structured, and easy for clinical audiences to absorb. Because the subject matter is tied to healthcare workflow and patient safety, I focused on using clear visual hierarchy, pacing, typography, and supporting graphics to reinforce the three-part framework of screen, assess, and intervene. The intention was to help viewers move through the information efficiently while keeping the content credible, organized, and actionable.

Tools & Execution

  • Adobe Premiere Pro for editing, sequencing, pacing, and final assembly
  • Adobe After Effects for motion support, transitions, and animated visual elements
  • Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop for graphic assets, layouts, and design refinement
  • Structured visual communication to support training content and make clinical guidance easier to follow

Outcome

The final video supported a broader public-health and clinical education effort by presenting fall-prevention guidance in a more approachable and visually engaging format. By translating workflow-based information into a clear communication experience, the project helped reinforce the importance of screening older adults for fall risk, coordinating multidisciplinary assessments, and supporting continuity of care both during hospitalization and after discharge.

What This Project Demonstrates

This project demonstrates my ability to turn clinical and patient-safety content into a more accessible visual communication experience. It reflects how I use design thinking, information structure, and editing strategy to simplify technical guidance, support message clarity, and create polished deliverables that align with both educational goals and real-world healthcare workflows.
