For more than three decades, Pinpoint's staff alarm systems have protected workers from workplace violence
The Rising Reality of Healthcare Workplace Violence
The rise of healthcare workplace violence is placing nurses, clinicians, and behavioral health staff in increasingly difficult and unpredictable situations. Aggression, threats, and physical harm are affecting staff safety, wellbeing, and retention across hospitals and care facilities.
Many healthcare organizations are strengthening staff protection with a wearable panic button for healthcare staff, allowing workers to discreetly signal for help when incidents escalate, let’s back it with numbers.
of nurses reported experiencing at least one type of workplace violence in the most recent year.
45.5%
said workplace violence increased on their unit compared to the prior year.
67%
reported anxiety, fear, or heightened vigilance because of violent incidents.
37%

Reduce Ambient Trauma Caused by Workplace Violence
Healthcare workers today are operating under a dark cloud. Ambient Trauma is the silent weight carried by healthcare workers who live in constant fear of being the next victim of workplace violence. This constant state of hyper-vigilance leads to rapid burnout, moral injury, and high turnover. Pinpoint’s panic alarm restores agency by giving people immediate control in moments of danger, replacing helplessness with action, predictability, and institutional support, key factors in reducing trauma.

Common Healthcare Panic Button Systems
Healthcare environments require safety technology that works instantly in high-risk situations. A healthcare panic button system must deliver reliable alerts and rapid response while supporting OSHA-compliant workplace violence prevention strategies. With several panic button technologies available today, hospitals must evaluate differences in mobility, infrastructure, response speed, and staff adoption.
Some systems rely on fixed locations, while others use smartphones or real-time location tracking. Each approach offers different advantages depending on the care environment, operational needs, and infrastructure requirements.

Flexible Deployment Across Care Environments
Works in All Care Settings
Pinpoint’s wearable panic button is built to support healthcare environments of different sizes and operational needs. Its modular design allows organizations to deploy the system in a single unit or expand coverage across multiple floors, departments, or facilities while maintaining the same reliability and response speed. This flexibility allows healthcare systems to start small and scale as operations grow, ensuring consistent staff protection across expanding campuses and care environments.
Hospitals
Supports busy acute-care hospitals with dependable coverage across departments, units, and high-traffic clinical areas where rapid response is critical for staff safety during unpredictable patient or visitor incidents.
Behavioral Health
Designed for behavioral health environments where unpredictable situations require discreet staff protection and immediate assistance to help manage escalating patient behaviors safely and effectively.
Residential Rehab
Provides reliable protection in residential treatment and rehabilitation facilities where staff safety and consistent monitoring are essential for maintaining a secure and supportive recovery environment for patients.

Types of Panic Buttons on the Market
There are many types of panic buttons on the market, but few are built for the unique demands of healthcare. In this environment, technology must work every single time, without fail, and just as importantly, it must be trusted, accepted, and willingly adopted by the frontline staff who rely on it for their safety.

A Panic Alarm That Protects Staff, Without Creating the Big Brother Atomsphere
Healthcare workers have been clear: they want a way to call for help without being tracked. In fact, over 56% of employees report feeling anxious about being watched, and 43% believe monitoring invades their privacy. Because RTLS emphasizes tracking by definition, many frontline clinicians perceive it as something done to them rather than for them. In healthcare environments where trauma-informed safety design prioritizes agency, consent, and psychological safety, this surveillance framing can erode trust and reduce staff willingness to engage with the system.
Pinpoint is intentionally designed as a non-tracking safety solution. Staff location is never monitored. Location data is activated when a staff member intentionally calls for help and only used to guide responders quickly to the correct location. This privacy-first approach aligns with clinical ethics, supports staff autonomy, and fosters trust across all roles from bedside nurses and physicians to ancillary services. By deploying a system that is widely accepted rather than resisted, hospitals ensure consistent adoption, reliable use, and a safety culture built on respect not surveillance.
Works in All Care Settings
Pinpoint is modular and scalable, built to protect healthcare environments of every size and complexity. It performs just as well in a small outpatient clinic as it does in a behavioral health center, a residential rehab facility, a busy acute-care hospital, or a sprawling multi-building medical campus. Because the system is composed of modular components, it can be deployed in a small area today and expanded across multiple units, floors, or buildings in the future. As your organization grows, remodels, or adds new service lines, Pinpoint grows with you.
Whether you’re securing a few rooms, or thousands across a healthcare system, Pinpoint scales seamlessly while maintaining the same speed, accuracy, and reliability, ensuring consistent protection across your facility.
