The last Webinar Wednesday session for 2020 was “Honoring Our Extraordinary Healthcare Workers by Providing Reliable, Automated Tools like RTLS to Keep them Safe and Sane.” The presentation was sponsored by Sonitor & ZulaFly and eligible for 1 credit from the ACI. It was presented by Sandra Rasmussen, senior vice president, North America sales and global marketing, Sonitor Technologies Inc. and Stephanie Andersen, managing partner, Zulafly.
This 60-minute webinar demonstrated the best way to honor health care workers is by providing them with reliable, automated tools to keep them safe and sane. RTLS can provide the automation and immediate access and notifications required to ensure the safety and sanity of caregivers.
Workplace violence can have a significant toll on health care workers. In fact, studies show that an alarmingly high number – 50 to 80 percent – of health care workers claim they’ve been victims of workplace violence. The discussion focused on how RTLS can minimize staff safety risks and provide automated nurse enablement tools that help keep staff secure.
The webinar drew almost 100 individuals for the live presentations and more have viewed a recording of the session online via an on-demand option.
