VERSAILLES, Ohio, March 6, 2023 —Midmark RTLS, a leading real-time locating system (RTLS) technology provider focused on workflow efficiency solutions and data insights that improve the delivery of care, today announced it offers a Staff Duress solution based on its cloud software platform enabled by the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) sensory network.

“Midmark RTLS added a new use case for a proven cloud platform used by leading healthcare providers—with our CareFlow™ Staff Duress solution, we can easily install and scale the solution across health systems,” said Susan Martin, vice president, Midmark RTLS. 

Healthcare has seen an unprecedented rise in workplace violence in the past decade, requiring immediate attention and intervention. Tools that can improve incident response can help healthcare systems retain the staff needed to provide quality care and enhance their culture of safety.

With the press of a button, healthcare workers wearing Midmark RTLS staff badges can quickly and discreetly alert responders. “Our Cloud software with BLE badges provides immediate alerts to security teams, helping employees feel more protected and supporting improved quality of care,” said Martin.

The need for a simple-to-implement solution is more significant than ever before. The CareFlow Cloud platform seamlessly works with Midmark’s BLE sensory network for quick deployment. Installations for new or existing facilities can be completed in a matter of weeks, with minimal internal resources needed, and without disrupting patient care. The sensory network and software easily scales across an entire healthcare system to address incidents wherever they occur.

Midmark RTLS provides solutions that aim to transform healthcare delivery by empowering healthcare systems to enhance staff safety and patient care through cutting-edge technology and expertise. “We are committed to using our decades of healthcare experience to push the boundaries of what’s possible with RTLS,” Martin said.
