What is a fall with serious injury?
A fall with serious injury involves a fracture or a head injury.
At Calvary, we take falls prevention seriously. When a patient arrives at the hospital, we will conduct a risk screen and will develop a personalised fall prevention plan to reduce the chances of any falls.
Please make sure you come to our facility with properly fitted shoes with a non-slip sole.
How is this indicator calculated?
The number of falls is divided by the number of people who have been sent home from our facility.
A lower number means fewer falls.
We aim to have the lowest number and be better than the industry benchmark.

What is a Net Promoter Score (NPS)?
The Net Promoter Score (NPS) is a metric used to gauge patient loyalty and satisfaction by measuring the likelihood that a patient would recommend Calvary Health Care services to others.
How is this indicator calculated?
We asked our patients, "on a scale of 0 to 10, how likely are you to recommend Calvary to a friend or colleague?"
The NPS is calculated by subtracting the percentage of "detractors" (consumers who gave a score of 0-6) from the percentage of "promoters” (consumers who gave a score of 9-10).
Those who score 7-8 indicate a high level of satisfaction, however are less likely to actively promote our services to others.
Our results: Jan - Mar 2025
Net Promoter Score at Calvary Bruce Private Hospital:
87.71%
This score indicates exceptional patient satisfaction. Patients are highly likely to recommend our health care services to others.
