Behavioral health teams operate in high-risk environments where safety issues can escalate quickly. Yet many organizations continue to rely on disconnected tools that leave critical gaps in visibility, response, and accountability.

In this session, former behavioral health operator Jeff Hillis, MBA, Esq., will speak from experience about the realities of staff and patient safety in behavioral health settings, and why many common approaches fail to close those gaps.

We’ll then take a closer look at VersaBadge’s location-aware approach to staff and patient safety, demonstrating how:

• Rounding can be validated through proximity thresholds to confirm meaningful staff-patient presence

• Staff duress alerting enables discreet calls for help to support early de-escalation

• A single platform brings together real-time staff and patient location, interactions, and response to provide clearer operational visibility before, during, and after incidents

The webinar will conclude with a live walkthrough of VersaBadge’s connected solution for behavioral health, followed by Q&A.
