A healthcare worker is assaulted every 30 minutes, but workplace violence should never be part of the job.

When a staff member needs assistance or if they are faced with a safety threat, they can quickly and discreetly summon help from wherever they are. CenTrak's real-time location technology, coupled with secure software applications, provide real-time map views, immediate alert notifications, and continuous location updates during a duress event.

Staff Duress - Problem

Don’t let inaccurate information delay response times to staff emergencies

The Joint Commission states that exposure to workplace violence can impair effective patient care and lead to psychological distress, job dissatisfaction, absenteeism, high turnover, and higher costs. During a staff duress event, it is crucial that the alert is immediately received by the system and the most current location information is displayed, ensuring no time is wasted dispatching help to the wrong place.

Staff Duress - Solution

A proactive approach with the most scalable and reliable staff safety solution for healthcare

Staff safety badges are equipped with wireless call functionality that discreetly summon help. During an emergency, staff simply press on their badge and the application instantly communicates the identity of the staff member and the precise location of the emergency. But it’s not just about how quickly you can respond, it’s also about how well you can prevent future incidents. CenTrak’s robust reporting tools provide detailed visibility into individual events and hospital-wide trends, helping teams identify risk patterns, improve safety protocols, and take a more proactive approach to workplace violence prevention.
