WiFi vs. BLE Mesh: Bluetooth Panic Button Performance Data
Key Takeaways WiFi infrastructure in healthcare runs at roughly 95 to 99 percent availability [1].

Nursing Safety Brief: Survey Evidence Checklist for Units
Key Takeaways Surveyors don’t evaluate your violence prevention program from a conference room.

Nursing Safety Confidence: Survey Evidence Your Team Needs
Key Takeaways You know your nurses are capable. You’ve watched them de-escalate situations that could have turned violent. You’ve seen charge nurses manage crises with composure. But nursing safety confidence during a survey doesn’t come from what you’ve witnessed. It comes from what your team can show a surveyor who walks onto the unit unannounced…

They’re the two most common reasons behavioral health facilities run into trouble during accreditation visits. This staff duress deployment data brief compiles the outcome evidence that demonstrates program…
