The rise of violence inside hospitals, including both physical attacks and verbal abuse, makes workers and patients feel vulnerable and unsafe. Legislative initiatives are aimed at the solving the problem, but security technology also plays an important role.
One example is multi-layered security solutions that encompass identity, access and visitor management software and include staff IDs & duress-alerting tools to give employees a way to silently alert the correct contacts if they are in danger. By allowing employees to trigger a centrally managed response to their location, hospital security programs can help protect nurses from harm while also reducing the stress they previously felt in today’s challenging hospital environment and increasing confidence that they are in a safe place.
