Staff Safety Solutions to Address Workplace Violence
Prioritize Safety, Prioritize Care, at the Press of a Button
Workplace violence against caregivers is not a matter of if, but when.
This dark shadow puts the entire healthcare ecosystem at risk. Nurses are afraid to go to work, jeopardizing their ability to provide quality patient care. Healthcare systems feel the repercussions in turnover costs and limited care abilities, with the ultimate consequence of lower patient satisfaction.
Enough is enough.

It doesn’t have to be this way.
Prioritize safety and care with a staff duress solution fueled by real-time locating system (RTLS) technology.
Support a safer environment with a wearable, mobile duress button on your RTLS badge with CareFlow™ Staff Duress.
When violence presents itself, a simple press of the button sends an alert to responders in real time. Responders can make more informed decisions about their next move in mitigating the risk, and caregivers can feel more peace of mind knowing help is on the way.
Enhanced Alert Delivery for an Efficient Response
An RTLS badge sends a silent, real-time alert to security teams, including who is in trouble and where, as well as all other staff member locations, so they can respond more efficiently.
Increased Safety Measures for Better Patient Care
The power of confidence. When staff feel safer in their work environment with discreet duress alerts, it encourages positive caregiver-patient interactions.
Modernized Analytics for Operational Effectiveness
Tableau®-based interactive reports transform location data into actionable insights to help understand incident times, locations and staffing levels.


Support a Culture of Safety for Compliance Standards
Follow workplace violence prevention safety standards established by The Joint Commission and OSHA.
CareFlow™ Staff Duress
