Episode Details

Beebe Healthcare is rolling out wearable duress buttons to protect frontline staff, starting with 1,500 employees in their Emergency Department at the Lewes Campus—where leaders personally handed out the first devices. The system lets workers discreetly summon help in moments of danger, with plans to expand to other campuses and cancer centers by fall. Deployment prioritizes high-risk departments based on past incidents, aligning with Delaware’s new laws making workplace assaults more serious. Provided by Canopy, the tech aims for rapid response, and Beebe will closely monitor effectiveness and future claims to ensure staff feel safer while caring for patients.
