Healthcare Industry Prioritize Lone Worker Protection Systems

Staff Health and Safety is a Priority at the 2016 Healthcare Conference in London

Health and social care professionals met in London June 29-30 at the 2016 Health + Care Conference to learn about new ways to deliver healthcare and improve productivity in the delivery of health services. Advances in technology provide a multitude of new tools and integrated systems that can improve not only patient care, but also support the well-being and safety of health care lone workers.

There has been an increase in people seeking out home care to their private residence over moving into care homes. While life expectancies have increased and people are living more actively and for longer, there is already a rise in demand for health services delivered outside of the hospital or clinic environment. This does increase the hazards, issues and potential injury or violence faced by medical professionals whilst making the visits.

As more seniors choose to live as independently as possible, the need for trained health professionals delivering at-home care has skyrocketed, making those in-demand workers very busy as they go about their daily calls. Caring for the elderly can be risky, as infirmity and dementia affect patients, so an easy to use, reliable and economical lone worker protection system is a necessity healthcare focussed lone workers and for the businesses providing these health services.
