EMPOWER STAFF TO SIGNAL FOR HELP WITH A SINGLE PUSH 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.
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. 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.
VISUAL LOCATION CUES
Quickly and easily find staff when they are calling for help with distinct icons and color-coding. When the duress button is pressed, the staff member’s icon changes to a red triangle and their name is highlighted in yellow.
POP-UP ALERTS
When a staff member presses their RTLS badge button, real-time pop-up alerts are sent to nurse stations and/or security. Details of who signaled for help and their exact location allows security teams to respond more efficiently.
Integration with Rauland Nurse Call
Integrating staff duress alarms with Rauland nurse call creates a comprehensive alarm management strategy for the most critical situations.
- Delivery of duress alarm to the Rauland Nurse Call Console
- Distinctive Dome Light color/pattern indicating location of duress event
- Notification of duress alarm to mobile phones
HOSPITAL ANALYTICS
Make more informed decisions by benchmarking call response times with the Staff Calls report from the CareFlow Analytics suite. Gauge response efficiency, help determine staffing levels and assess security considerations.
