Litum Launches Subscription-Based Staff Duress RTLS, Enhancing Safety in Healthcare

Now available via subscription, Litum's Staff Duress solution provides real-time location insights for rapid responses during emergencies. This innovative solution aims to significantly reduce emergency response times in healthcare, offering an efficient and cost-effective way to ensure staff safety. Healthcare professionals, particularly those in direct patient care roles like nurses, face daily threats. Notably, 76% of all nonfatal workplace violence injuries occur within the healthcare sector, with frontline caregivers being 2.27 times more likely to experience physical aggression than other staff.

Litum's Staff Duress solution addresses this critical issue by offering healthcare facilities a robust system that enhances staff safety, streamlines emergency responses, and creates a more secure working environment. With a simple button press, staff can alert security personnel to their precise location, enabling a rapid response that can prevent the escalation of violence or crisis situations. The solution integrates with existing security and nurse call systems, leveraging powerful APIs and business rule configurations to provide ultimate flexibility.

The subscription-based model eliminates significant upfront costs, offering flexible payment options that allow for instant deployment. Litum's system utilizes Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology, offering location accuracy within one meter. This precision is essential for quickly locating staff in distress. The initial network for the Staff Duress solution is expandable, supporting additional offerings like patient flow management and wander management. Additionally, Litum's RTLS technology is compatible with the LenelS2™ OnGuard® access control system, providing a unified approach to incident management in healthcare facilities.

"At Litum, we understand the unique challenges healthcare professionals face daily. Our Staff Duress Solution is designed to provide the peace of mind they deserve, allowing them to focus on delivering exceptional care," said Ozgur Ulku, Co-Founder & CEO of Litum. The company is extending a special limited-time offer, providing up to 25% savings on subscriptions spanning one to five years.
