Real-Hospital Staff Safety Solutions with RTLS Duress Badges

AiRISTA offers a wide range of duress badges that can suit your specific needs. Some can be worn like a wristwatch, others clipped to apparel like belts or lanyards. These badges can include buttons or other unique features; it all depends on what you need.

Duress badges communicate with a wide range of connection types, such as:

• Wi-Fi.
• Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE).

Multi-radio support provides redundant connections for duress badges to ensure connectivity in case a network fails.

Naturally, you want both employees and patients to be safe in your facility. AiRISTA’s healthcare RTLS solution keeps them both in mind.

Patients can wear duress badges that perform a variety of functions, including elopement alerts and alerts to accidental falls. This is where rules and integration options come in handy; if a patient is somewhere that’s unsafe, integration with third-party systems allow:

• Control of door locks.
• Alert other healthcare workers.
• Activate an alarm.
• Play a recording, such as telling them to go back to their room.
• And more, in many functional combinations.

This way, alerts are generated when patients accidentally harm themselves or wander into restricted areas.

Custom Rules
The functionality of the RTLS solution isn’t limited to just a two-way communication system. Custom rules ensure you have total control over the RTLS system’s responses and can accommodate your facility’s specific protocols and needs.

Forensic Replay
All activity is recorded in a log via the platform’s software. This means you always have a record of where, when and what is happening in your healthcare facility.

All activity is recorded in a log via the platform’s software, providing a complete history of movements and events within your facility. This feature is especially valuable for reviewing staff duress incidents, offering precise details on where, when, and what occurred to aid in post-incident analysis and reporting.

Test Mode
Built into the software solution is a test mode you can use to practice and fine-tune your staff duress system responses. For example, you may want to ensure that the right action is taken when a worker activates a duress badge, or that you have enough connectivity options to cover any location or to run drills.

Rechargeable Batteries
Battery life varies based on features and connectivity, but even our most advanced duress badge is designed to last through a full staff shift. You can easily recharge them when not in use and receive alerts when batteries should be changed.

A healthcare setting makes up 75% of all workplace assaults in the U.S., and these numbers are underestimated — only 30% of workplace violence incidents are reported.

Knowing that help is merely a button press away can be a highly effective way to ensure your healthcare workers are safe in your healthcare facility. Reducing instances of workplace violence and responding with the appropriate level of force is exactly what AiRISTA’s healthcare RTLS solutions do.
