3 Key Risks For Healthcare
Long Travel
Travel may be required by healthcare workers to visit clients in person. Fatigue and the potential of getting lost are some factors that could increase the risk to their safety on the job.
Unreliable or No‑Reception
Many workers may find themselves in work environments with poor mobile reception or even worse none at all. There is always a possibility of health risks, no matter what situation you are in. A lack of access and ability to call for help if the situation requires is a big risk.
Working Alone
The Healthcare industry is limited in resources and may require staff to undertake jobs alone and unsupervised. Especially during a time of pandemic, there is an increase in working alone risks. Violence, aggression, medical emergencies and many more are many risks that lone workers in the healthcare industry can be exposed to.

Benefits Of Welfare Monitoring
Introducing a welfare monitoring solution like GetHomeSafe to your healthcare organisation will come with many benefits for both safety and also operations. Here are three of the key benefits our healthcare industry clients tell us they love.
Key Features
Real-time GPS tracking, even out-of-cell coverage is a key element of welfare monitoring, and like two-way communications, this provides both safety and productivity enhancements.
Welfare monitoring focuses on people, not assets, seeing the location of people on the ground no matter where they are and what they are doing is a key feature needed for the not-for-profit industry. Allow your workers to have peace of mind while they work.
One of the key parts of GetHomeSafe as a solution for the healthcare industry is our layered approach to welfare monitoring. With GetHomesafe you can monitor many different risk factors, all in one platform and customise this to be bespoke to the risk profile of the task at hand and can vary from employee to employee based on what they are doing.
From home visits to charity events and everywhere in-between everyone deserves to get home safely.
Effective Means Of Communication
Welfare monitoring is a step up from remembering to text or call your team leader. The manual process of having to remember to tell them when you are finished for the day is time-consuming and costly.
Working with you, our sales team can train your team to use GetHomeSafe to automate a check-in, and check-out process with the ability to trigger alerts if required.
Finding the right solution to work in specific scenarios will help you streamline the process of knowing your team are ok, anywhere at any time on the job.
Check-In Features
One of the commonly used features that not-for-profit organisations benefit from is our discreet Bluetooth button wearable, the V.bttn is designed for easy check-in and alerting through a wearable button. The V.bttn provides lone workers with the ability to send easy and discrete ways of checking in or help alerts within cellular coverage.
In addition to this feature, a check-in note feature is a popular tool used by healthcare organisations. Simply check in with #hashtag notes to form a report of hazards faced in the community, e.g. #dog.
