The Healthcare Panic Button That Works Anywhere Your Team Does
Silent Beacon’s wearable duress button system gives nurses, caregivers, and healthcare teams one-touch access to 911, real-time two-way communication, and instant multi-channel alerts. Whether they’re on the hospital floor, in a clinic, or on a home visit.
"90% of our work is out in the community, doing home visits... It has the capability with the push of a button to call 911 and it can be pretty discreet... That makes a big difference in how safe our team feels."

Healthcare Workers Face Escalating Threats, On and Off Campus
Workplace violence in healthcare isn’t a fringe issue. It’s an epidemic. Nurses, home health aides, and behavioral health professionals are among the most at-risk workers in the country, and the crisis is accelerating. Violence in healthcare is a crisis that demands action now.
The Numbers Don't Lie
The data paints a clear picture. Healthcare workers are under threat every single day, and traditional safety measures aren’t keeping up. Fixed panic buttons, phone-based systems, and manual check-ins leave dangerous gaps, especially for staff working outside hospital walls. Your team deserves a safety solution built for the reality they face. One that functions as a complete incident command system and moves with them wherever they go.
These aren’t isolated incidents. This is a systemic failure to protect the people who protect us.
Dangers on the job
These risks stem from unsafe neighborhoods, aggressive patients or their relatives, and exposure to hazards like illegal weapons, verbal abuse, and unsanitary conditions.
A spike in workplace violence
61% of home based healthcare workers report some form of violence on the job.
Attrition Costs
When healthcare employees resign, it costs employers $44,000 on average per worker.
Daily Homecare Assaults
16% of nursing home aides face assaults daily, and this percentage is increasing.

Protection That Moves Beyond Hospital Walls
Most healthcare panic button systems are hardwired to a building. Silent Beacon isn’t. Our wearable duress button system works anywhere there’s a smartphone connection, giving your field-based staff the same level of protection as those on campus.
- Lone Worker Safety: Check-In Mode pings your location to confirm you’re safe, and Footsteps Tracking shares your GPS only when activated. Location is never tracked until an alert is triggered.
- Built For The Field: From patient home visits to remote crisis response, Silent Beacon’s healthcare panic button keeps your team connected and protected in unpredictable environments.
Regulatory Priority
Workplace violence doesn’t just harm your staff. It costs your organization. With 65% average caregiver turnover and each departure costing up to $44,400 according to the 2021 NSI Nursing Solutions study, the financial impact of inaction is staggering.
The regulatory pressure is mounting too. OSHA mandates that employers provide workplaces free from hazards likely to cause serious harm. States like Virginia are implementing new workplace violence prevention laws requiring healthcare providers to have documented safety protocols in place.
Silent Beacon’s healthcare panic button and enterprise safety platform help you meet these obligations head-on. Reduce liability, improve staff retention, and demonstrate a proactive commitment to your duty of care.
