Following its acquisition in January 2022, Strongline is now Commure Strongline, an affordably robust and easy‑to‑deploy solution designed to effectively protect and empower every person in the health ecosystem.

Combating workplace violence requires a holistic understanding of the crisis — including the full scope of your staff’s experience.

Workplace violence in healthcare is a monumental challenge. Nurses are physically assaulted every 30 minutes.

And yet, this is only the tip of the iceberg. 70% of incidents go unreported.

Commure Strongline was purposefully developed at a leading health system as the first solution to protect all staff no matter who they are or where they are — whether in an inpatient unit on the 9th floor, a physician office building, or in the hospital gift shop.

Built by frontline caregivers, Commure Strongline knows exactly how to protect your staff.

Our proactive solution prevents and de-escalates workplace violence across all care facilities, regardless of the scale or staff volume — allowing your organization to:

Commure Strongline is purpose-built to keep staff safe by empowering healthcare organizations to:

Prioritize de-escalation

Reactive intervention isn’t enough. Combating workplace violence requires proactive prevention before it escalates.

Successful de-escalation is a combination of strategies intended to reduce a patient’s agitation and aggression.

Instantly alert everyone who needs to know for quick action.

At the first sign of distress, staff simply press a small button on the badge, which sends a silent distress signal to everyone instantly — both nearby staff and security personnel — via their preferred mobile device and communication method. The system monitors the entire situation and all impacted staff in real time, from the first sign of duress all the way through resolution.

Empower staff with knowledge that help is just a push of a button away.

Wearable badges featuring discreet panic buttons empower any worker to instantly call for nearby help — signaling their name and real-time location — enabling early intervention and de-escalation.

Cover all staff, in all facilities

Workplace violence doesn’t discriminate — so neither should your workforce safety solution. Everyone can be impacted, and everyone deserves to be protected.

Violence in the workplace shouldn’t be an inevitability that anyone has to endure — yet, for so many clinicians, staff, and employees in healthcare facilities, it is a constant and looming concern.

Combating workplace violence is a large enough challenge — implementing the technology shouldn’t make things harder.

Installed in as little as 1-2 weeks and easily scalable, Commure Strongline provides always-on protection: 9 in 10 badge-wearers feel an increased sense of safety when dealing with a difficult patient.

Affordably cover your entire system with ease.

By leveraging a secure location infrastructure, Commure Strongline provides coverage in all critical areas and enables healthcare workers to instantly summon support to the right location without any interference to existing clinical systems.

Your organization is unique — and requires a solution that can adapt to how your staff work.

Commure Strongline is flexible and configurable for the unique needs of your healthcare facilities. We’ll deliver custom alerts via text, iOS app, and/or integrate with any of your existing solutions.

Track and report critical data to improve prevention measures

Workplace violence can’t only be combated in episodes — it requires a data-driven approach to inform broader prevention strategies.

Safety shouldn’t come with sacrifice. Commure Strongline empowers health organizations to proactively keep their facilities safe with a comprehensive alerting and reporting solution.

We’re affordably robust, ensuring ongoing value for your staff and your business.

Commure Strongline’s secure, cloud-based SaaS model allows for no capital costs and fully managed services for infrastructure and software support, often for less than the cost of covering nurses’ lost work days, replacing nurses due to burnout, or paying out preventable workers’ compensation claims.

Give your teams the insight they need to create a safer workplace.

A robust security dispatch dashboard with real-time reporting capabilities to understand trends and insights empowers security and leadership teams to track duress events and take appropriate action in support of their colleagues.
