Legal obligation to disclose information, related to patient fall, to patient family

Need clarification. I tried googling and couldn’t really find what I was looking for.

If a patient falls in a health care facility. And the patients family asks for the names of the individual staff involved.

Is the faculty obligated to name those staff? Or would the patients family need to submit a subpoena to obtain any further details?

Just wondering aside from a subpoena, must the faculty disclose any other details than alerting the family that the patient fell, how it happened, and to the best of their ability why it happened and whether it was not preventable.

Is there any reason the facility must name individuals involved?

Is the facility obligated to protect the identity of their staff (aside from leadership, such as medical director or administrator, who the patient and their family probably knows anyway)?
