Staff Protection Overview
The Securitas Healthcare Staff Protection solution combines Wi-Fi badges with a personal panic button and an enterprise RTLS platform to give healthcare workers 24/7, hospital-wide protection.
Challenge
Workplace violence touches almost every healthcare professional – with ED nurses and psychiatric aides at above-average risk.
For hospitals, verbal abuse and physical violence in the workplace drive a wide range of costs related to injuries, lost productivity, higher turnover and damaged reputation.
Hospitals need a flexible, facility-wide staff safety solution that supports the efficient delivery of patient care.
How It Works
Why Securitas Healthcare for Staff Protection?
By leveraging the hospital’s Wi-Fi network, the Staff Protection solution can locate staff members anywhere within Wi-Fi coverage – including the parking garage. Optional exciters bring resolution down to the room level for even greater location accuracy in areas of particular risk, such as the ED, mental health or rehabilitation.
Real-time alerts are displayed at the hospital’s security command center via MobileView Instant Notifier. Complete alarm details are clearly visible, including a map showing the staff member’s current location. Instant Notifier makes alarm information available on web, desktop and mobile. The solution can also send notifications to e-mail, text messages and other various staff communication tools.
The Securitas Healthcare Staff Protection solution gives managers a real-time view of the security situation and tools to help maintain a high level of safety. All staff members can be quickly located to coordinate the security response based on proximity.
A test station enables staff members to confirm their badges are working properly before going on shift. A census view in the software gives managers an at-a-glance view of status – including alerts, low-battery badges and badges that haven’t been tested recently.
"The solution enables us to be highly accurate in responding to an incident, and it gives our staff an improved sense of safety and protection."
