Dashboards help track and analyze alerts by day, hour, department, location, and response time, supporting Join Commission compliance.
Why hospitals are acting now
- The Joint Commission’s 2026 National Performance Goals elevate workplace violence prevention—requiring a formal program, training, reporting, and annual worksite analysis tied to accreditation.
- Nearly 60% of healthcare workers worry about safety at work, and 79% have experienced or witnessed aggressive behavior, making WPV prevention tools a frontline priority.
- In New York City, ~15,000 nurses walked off the job on January 12, 2026, citing staffing and workplace safety as core issues.
What nurses appreciate most:
From nurse feedback, four features consistently stand out:
- Parking lot coverage for shift changes and late‑night commutes
- Two‑way feedback (LED + vibration) that confirms the alert was sent and securities acknowledgement
- Continuous tracking only after the press
