Why CNOs Love Pinpoint
As a CNO, you recognize the importance of ensuring your nurses feel safe, respected, and valued. While implementing technology that mitigates workplace violence appears promising, many solutions inadvertently introduce unintended consequences. You’ll love Pinpoint’s solution because it offers the protection your nurses want without compromising their autonomy or infringing upon their privacy.
Stop Workplace Violence
Safeguarding nurses from aggressive patients or family members requires more than a panic button—they need a discreet way to call for help at the first signs of aggression. Even with de-escalation training, nurses remain vulnerable because they lack a way to summon help. Pinpoint’s wearable device provides a discreet, easy-to-use solution for requesting local support from nearby colleagues with a simple press of a button.
Without Tracking Your Nurses
Nurses highly value autonomy and trust in their work environment. Implementing a system that tracks their location, like “Big Brother,” fosters a culture of fear, resulting in higher stress levels, decreased morale, and lower job satisfaction. A recent survey of nurses revealed that 87% want a solution for workplace violence but don’t want their location tracked. Pinpoint’s solution is not a tracking system. Your location is identified only when you are asking for help.
Or Exposing Them to Harmful Radiation
When evaluating wearable safety devices, it’s important to consider whether they pose health risks. While the level of RF radiation emitted by most electronic devices is considered safe, wearable devices are different because they are used for extended periods, close to sensitive areas like breast tissue and reproductive organs. Research has shown non-thermal impacts on cell function, immune systems, and neurological processes. Pinpoint’s solution is 100% safe because it uses infrared, like your TV remote, and only sends a signal when a button is pressed.
