Healthcare
A people-forward approach to behavioral health security
Your patients, staff, and visitors deserve a healing, therapeutic environment where they know they are safe. Metrasens offers non-threatening detection technology to find even the smallest items that can lead to incidents—so staff can work without fear and patients can heal.
Metrasens is helping hospitals and behavioral health centers protect their most important priorities—their staff and their patients.
Metrasens allows you to keep prohibited items out without disrupting the process of healing. Noninvasive, non-triggering screenings keep patients safe and allow staff to focus on providing excellent care.
Keep patients safe from self harm.
Keep patients safe with precise, effective detection that can find even the smallest risk items, like pocket knives, razors, and needles, on or inside the body.
Improve staff morale and reduce turnover.
Your staff should feel safe when they come to work. Put a stop to violent incidents against staff with screenings from a safe distance. Identify the precise location of risk items to simplify the secondary search.
Set up a therapeutic environment.
Patients deserve non-invasive screenings that can be completed from a distance, preserving dignity and fostering care.
Seamless intake process.
Add an effective healthcare security layer during intake to prevent threat items from entering before a problem occurs.
Preventing Threats Before They Happen
Behavioral health environments require a delicate balance between security and patient care. Weapons and contraband increase risks, disrupt treatment and complicate compliance. Metrasens’ detection systems offer a discreet, noninvasive solution that prevents threats, protects staff and patients, and upholds safety standards without disrupting the therapeutic environment.
Protecting Nurses in Behavioral Health
Workplace violence in healthcare is on the rise, with behavioral health professionals facing some of the highest risks. Incidents involving aggressive patients, unauthorized weapons, or contraband can escalate quickly, putting staff and other patients in danger.
When threats are detected before they enter patient care areas, nurses are safer. Facilities using Metrasens report fewer accidents involving weapons and increased confidence and morale among staff.
