Don't panic, de-escalate

Workplace violence poses a significant threat to nurses’ well-being, affecting them both physically and emotionally. Incidents of workplace violence will increase staff turnover, insurance premiums, absenteeism, and open your organization to lawsuits.

While many healthcare facilities have implemented panic alarm systems, these measures have had limited success in curbing workplace violence. De-escalation technology is different because it will give your staff the ability to get help at the first signs of agitation.

Implementing de-escalation technology will protect your staff and have a positive impact on your bottom line.

FAQs by CFOs

What effect does the system have on employee turnover rates?

Exposing nurses to workplace violence affects their psychological, emotional, and physical health, which will decrease their quality of life and increase their turnover intention. Nurses who have experienced or been exposed to workplace violence in any form have significantly higher turnover rates than those who have not experienced workplace violence.  Workplace violence causes victims to experience anxiety and induces them to become dissatisfied with the hospital or tasks assigned to them. Many respond by changing their career paths, relocating to safer facilities, or leaving the profession.
