75% of Nurses Report Workplace Violence. Your Incident Reports Document It. Safience Prevents It.
Nurses are assaulted at five times the rate of workers in any other industry. Your incident reports capture what happened after the fact. Safience identifies known violent offenders at the moment they enter your facility, before they reach the unit, the room, or the nurse.
Three out of four nurses experience workplace violence in any given year — the highest victimization rate of any U.S. profession
Healthcare workers face workplace violence at five times the rate of workers in any other industry; nurses absorb the highest share
From sensor capture at the facility entrance to human-verified alert delivered to security operations — before the visitor reaches the unit
Non-match images deleted instantly at the edge. No biometric templates created, stored, or retained. No surveillance of clinical care.
Your Nurses Are the Target. Your Systems Protect the Building.
Every security investment your facility has made protects the perimeter: cameras on walls, badges on doors, guards at desks. None of them protect the nurse at the bedside. A patient with a documented history of violent offenses is admitted without anyone checking. A visitor with active warrants walks onto the unit. A former patient banned for assaulting staff returns through a different entrance. Your nurses are the most frequent victims of workplace violence in healthcare, and your current systems give them no warning.
-
The Repeat Offender Gap
A patient with a documented history of violent offenses is discharged after an assault on staff. Six months later, they present at the ED under a different insurance plan. No one on shift recognizes them. Safience identifies them at the entrance, alerts security, and the care team is informed before the patient reaches the unit.
-
The Staff Safety Gap
Nurses experience workplace violence at rates far exceeding any other profession. Current interventions — de-escalation training, panic buttons, security escorts — are reactive. Safience provides the missing layer: advance warning that a known violent individual is on the premises.
-
The Visitor Management Gap
A patient's family member with active warrants and a history of violent offenses visits during open hours. Your visitor management system logs a name and prints a badge. It does not check criminal history. Safience identifies the individual at entry and routes a verified alert to security before they reach the floor.
-
The Behavioral Health Gap
Patients admitted to behavioral health units may have criminal histories that are clinically relevant to safety planning. Current workflows do not include real-time criminal background awareness at the point of admission. eMotive and UMbRA provide this intelligence for clinical safety decisions — routed to the right personnel, not posted on the unit.
- No cameras in patient rooms, no recordings in clinical settings — entry-point sensors only, capturing a single <100KB image at the door
- Instant deletion of all non-matches — images of patients, families, and visitors not on an active watchlist are purged at the edge
- Zero PHI created — no patient data collected, no clinical records added to your environment, no new HIPAA compliance obligations
- Alerts routed to security, not to clinical staff — nurses are never pulled from patient care to manage a security threat; the system works behind the scenes
- Mandatory human verification — every candidate match is reviewed by a trained analyst at the Rapid Action Center before any alert reaches the security team
- Zero biometric templates stored — nothing to breach, nothing to subpoena, nothing for a state biometric privacy law to regulate
Current Nurse Safety Approach vs. Safience
| Capability | Current Nurse Safety Approach | Safience |
|---|---|---|
| Threat Awareness | None at point of entry | Real-time identification of known violent offenders at the door |
| Repeat Offender Detection | Depends on staff memory | Automated identification regardless of entrance or shift |
| Visitor Risk Assessment | Badge printing only | Identity intelligence at entry against 56M+ LE-sourced records |
| Staff Notification | Post-incident panic button | Pre-incident security alert delivered before the visitor reaches the unit |
| Banned Person Enforcement | Paper-based; guard memory | X-LST: automated, persistent detection at every sensor-equipped entrance |
| Evidence for Magnet / Accreditation | Incident report volume | Proactive prevention documentation with verified audit trail |
| Missing Patient Detection | Manual search | RVIS automated alert if patient is in an LE missing-person database |
| Privacy Impact | Cameras record patients in clinical settings | No video, no patient data collected, no PHI created |
Products Deployed for Nursing Safety
A single sensor deployment at hospital entry points identifies known violent offenders, enforces banned-patient lists, and recovers missing patients — without creating a surveillance record of clinical care.
RTIS: Real-Time Threat Identification System
Entry-point identification of known violent offenders
Identifies known violent offenders, individuals with active warrants, and persons flagged for prior assaults on healthcare workers at the moment they enter your facility. Alerts route to security — not to nurses on the unit.
Learn MoreRVIS: Real-Time Victim Identification System
Missing patient and endangered person recovery
Every threat scan simultaneously searches for missing persons. If a patient goes missing from your facility and enters an LE missing-person database, RVIS can detect them at any sensor-equipped location — before staff knows where to look.
Learn MoreX-LST: X-List Technology
Compartmented banned-patient and banned-visitor lists
Maintain compartmented lists of banned patients and visitors who have committed violence against staff. Detection is automatic at every sensor-equipped entrance, regardless of shift or staffing. Safience has no visibility into list contents.
Learn MoreUMbRA: Law Enforcement Identity Database
56M+ identity database powering every alert
The 56M+ identity database that powers every RTIS and RVIS alert. Includes arrest, booking, conviction, warrant, sex offender registration, and missing person records from 18,000+ agencies, updated hourly with 50K+ new records daily.

Staff Retention
Nurses leave because they do not feel safe. The cost of replacing a single nurse ranges from $56,000 to $97,000. Proactive threat identification demonstrates institutional commitment to staff safety — and gives recruiters something tangible to talk about.
Patient Safety
Preventing violence IS patient care. When a known violent offender is identified before reaching the unit, every patient on that unit is safer. Every nurse on that unit can focus on care, not self-protection.
Zero Disruption to Clinical Workflow
Alerts go to security operations, not to clinical staff. Nurses are never pulled from patient care to manage security threats. The system works behind the scenes — and outside the clinical record.
Accreditation Documentation
Provide Joint Commission surveyors and Magnet reviewers with proactive prevention data, not just incident reports. Every detection event generates a documented record: timestamp, location, match, verification, response.
Background checks expire. Criminals do not. Continuous, FCRA-compliant criminal monitoring for every employee, contractor, and vendor with patient access — alerts within hours, not months.
