Pinpoint's de-escalation technology℠ stops workplace violence

Workplace violence poses significant challenges for healthcare workers, affecting their physical and mental well-being. When healthcare professionals fear for their safety it reduces their productivity, lowers patient satisfaction scores, and hurts your bottom line.  That’s why it is critical that you implement a solution that reduces the number and severity of workplace violence incidents.

 

The traditional technology used to combat workplace violence is to install panic buttons. Panic buttons are only part of the solution. The most effective way to reduce workplace violence is to implement a de-escalation system which enables your staff to quickly and discreetly alert their coworkers when they encounter a potentially violent situation.  A de-escalation system empowers your staff to get help de-escalating a situation BEFORE it turns into violence.
