Athena Security has launched its new Healthcare Violence Reporting software to provide officers that use the company’s Weapons Detection System with the tools to easily document and analyze all incident data, helping solve the increasing amount of attacks.

According to the company, the rate of violence against healthcare workers is 12 times higher than in the overall workforce and healthcare workers accounted for 73% of all non-fatal workplace injuries and illnesses due to violence in 2018.

“We were shocked as a security company when we discovered just how much healthcare violence goes unreported amidst the growing trend of attacks,” said Athena Security CEO Michael Green. “We wanted to make it simple to report and analyze the attack data and to solve this horrific problem that has 85% of emergency room doctors stating that violence is increasing.”
