Incident Tracking Without Compromising Privacy

The Pinpoint Management Portal serves as the central hub for logging and analyzing de-escalation and panic button usage. Each time a panic or de-escalation button is pressed, the system automatically records the time, date, location, unit, floor, and call level, ensuring precise documentation. Once the data is recorded by the system it cannot be edited. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. They Importantly, Pinpoint respects employee privacy by omitting caller ID or individual tracking, keeping the focus on situational data rather than personal identification.

Easy Incident Reporting

Nurses can add their observations and outcomes to the incident report once the situation is resolved, ensuring complete documentation. They can then identify which nurses were involved in or exposed to incidents, enabling management to offer appropriate counseling or support.
