HEALTHCARE & HOSPITALS
THE NURSE WHO NEEDS HELP CAN’T ALWAYS REACH A PHONE.
In a hospital, the emergency is often a person — and the target is your staff. Share911 (US) and Share999 (UK) let any worker summon help silently, from exactly where they’re standing, and bring the right people to the right room.
WHEN THE EMERGENCY IS A PERSON, AND THE TARGET IS YOUR STAFF.
A nurse alone with an escalating patient. A tech on a night shift. An ED at 2 a.m. When a staff member is in trouble, they often can’t pick up a phone or call out.
A building-wide alarm that empties the floor is the wrong tool. What they need is to reach the right people — quietly — and have them arrive before it escalates.
HOW IT WORKS
THE RIGHT PEOPLE, TO THE RIGHT ROOM. NOW.
Silent summon from where they stand — no need to reach a phone or a wall button.
Targets the people who can get there — security, the charge nurse, the colleagues one room over — not the whole building.
Two-way — responders coordinate in the moment, and staff confirm the situation.
Every alert is logged — a timestamped record exists when your safety committee asks what happened.
Everyday codes too — the same platform carries the escalations your staff handle every single shift.
THE MANDATES
BUILT FOR THE NEW WORKPLACE-VIOLENCE MANDATES.
In the United States, protecting healthcare workers became a requirement. The Joint Commission’s workplace-violence prevention standards have applied to every accredited hospital since January 2022 — covering leadership oversight, reporting, data collection and training — and states including California, New York and Washington require written prevention plans, risk assessments and incident tracking. Share911 delivers the piece those programs are built around: an instant, discreet way for any staff member to call for help, and a timestamped record of every alert and response. It supports your program; it isn’t a substitute for it.
In the United Kingdom, NHS organisations are contractually required to meet the NHS Violence Prevention and Reduction Standard — self-assessing across seven domains, with board assurance twice a year. Share999 gives staff that same discreet route to help, and the record to evidence your response.
COMMON QUESTIONS
What is a staff duress system?
A way for a healthcare worker to silently call for help from exactly where they’re standing, alerting the right people — security, the charge nurse, a colleague one room over — without a building-wide alarm. That’s what Share911 and Share999 provide.
Does this meet the Joint Commission workplace-violence standard?
The standard requires a full program — leadership, reporting, data and training. Share911 supports the response-and-record part of it (instant, discreet alerting plus a timestamped log); it isn’t a substitute for the program.
Is it only for the worst day?
No. The same platform carries the everyday codes and escalations your staff handle every single shift.
Does it work for the UK and the NHS?
Yes — Share999 supports NHS organisations working to the Violence Prevention and Reduction Standard.
GIVE YOUR STAFF A WAY TO CALL FOR HELP.
Share911 and Share999 support your emergency response. They do not replace it. In an emergency, always call your local emergency number.
