The healthcare industry is facing an unprecedented crisis of care—but this time, it’s not just about patients. A staggering 73% of non-fatal workplace injuries and illnesses due to violence are happening to those on the frontlines of healthcare, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. With numbers like these, how can we expect healthcare professionals to deliver the best possible care?
In our latest podcast episode, we dive into the critical issue of workplace violence in healthcare and explore cutting-edge solutions designed to protect those who protect us. Discover how innovations inspired by casino-level security are being adapted to healthcare settings. From blackjack tables to operating rooms, you’ll be surprised at the unexpected parallels and the powerful impact these technologies can have on staff safety.
In this episode, our moderator David Kemp, Healthcare Lead at Marketscale, and guests including Avi Golan, CEO of Oosto, Patrick Welsh, General Manager of Americas at Oosto, and Ryan Loughin, President of NextGen, discuss how AI-driven technologies are transforming the way healthcare facilities protect their patients and staff.
